Notes for GEORGE WRIGHT: On Jan. 17, 1827, George Wright, 8, was apprenticed to Col. Harrington. There is no mention w hat became of George's mother. George Wright appears to have remained on the Harrington plant ation aftewards, is often mentioned in the colonel's journals as being there. At some point a fter George Wright reached manhood, he experienced health problems and his father, Col. Harri ngton, sent him to Tennessee for his health and to see after Harrington land holdings there . George is said to have died in Greene Co., TN, exact location and location of grave not kno wn. Some family sources said George was not married. However, it should be considered for add itional research that George Wright may have been married based upon the following:Ref. 185B. 03/67 Greene Co., TN Will: In Green Co., TN the June 6, 1848 will of a William Jones Sr. wa s recorded. In that will, William Jones Sr. records that his deceased daughter, Nancy, was ma rried to a George Wright. Nancy and George had two children: William Wright & Martha Jane Wri ght. There is no documentation William Jones was from the Richmond Co. area, but it is believ ed some of the Jones family from Richmond Co. moved into TN. There is a known relationship be tween the Richmond Co. Jones and Wright families. This is speculation but it may be possibl e that the George Wright referred to above may have been George, the illegitimate sone of Col . Harrington..).

Answer to a query to Hinds County, MS - They are all buried at Reeves Chapel Cemetery (now Hi nds Independent Methodist Church) on the Old Port Gibson Road, the original Natchez Trace. Th is is located SE of Raymond, and NW of Learned, if you look at a Hinds County/Mississippi map . The Wright antebellum home is still standing off the Old Port Gibson Road and still in us e by the Wright family. It is a real showplace, but not open for pilgrimages, etc. My father' s sister married Romuel Wright, a descendent of the family, and they lived in Crystal Springs , MS in Copiah County. There was a huge family, and all the children had huge families. Uncl e Romuel have a number of brothers and sisters. I am sure you already know a lot of that. Unc le Romuel and Aunt Eleanor had 4 children, Eleanor Lacy (m. Sam Buckmaster and lives in Altan ta), Gregory, Nicholas, and Romuel.

G. Watt Wright - On Saturday, April 14, many hearts were sad in Gibson and the surroundi ng country, for "Mr. Watt" had passed away. No one has ever gone from this community who wa s missed more. We miss him in our homes, on the street, in his place of business, in the Sun day school, and most of all we miss his beautiful tenor voice in the choir at the church he l oved. During all the weeks of his declining health his home had been the mecca of the childre n and also his older friends. He used to say, "Give me my flowers while I can enjoy them," a nd he surely had his wish granted for we never saw his room bare of flowers at any time durin g his illness. So often during his last weeks we heard him say, " I don' know why the peopl e are so good to me," but we knew why. We dougt there is a home in Gibson into which Mr. Wa tt had not gone with help and cheer in times of sickness and trouble. No one can ever take his place in the hearts of the children, for none of them knew hi m, but to love. He was never too busy to too tired to go with them swinning or blackberrying , or to chaperone their picnics and other little outings; and no mother need be uneasy abou t her child when it was with Mr. Watt. His good influence will live on in the hearts of th e children he loved and who loved him. George Washington Wright, or as he, was better known, Watt Wright, was born May 1, 185 8. He was the son of George and Miranda Wright and the third of four children, two of who su rvie him, a sister, Mrs. Francis Wright, and a brother, Mr. W. T. Wright. In early life he w as converted and became a member of St. Johns church, but later moved to Gibson Methodist chu ch, as the last 30 years of his life were spent there. He was a consistent Christian and a l all times a friend to those in need. January 22 he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis and from that time his conditio n gradually became worse. At the beginning of his illness he was removed to the home of hi s brother, where everything possible was done for his comfort and pleasure. Up to the time t hat he was stricken he was as spry as a boy of 18. He was confined to his bed less than a we ek. During all his illness, even though suffering intensely, no complaint passed his lips, a nd he was cheerful and his own jolly self as long as he was conscious. As long as he could s peak he thanked every one for anything they did for him. On Sunday afternoon he was tently laid to rest in the family burying ground in the p resence of hudnreds of sorrowing friends. His pastor, Rev. A. J. Parker, spoke tenderly of t he beautiful life he had lived amoung us, and the choir of which he had been a member sang se veral selections. The children with tearful voices and streaming eyes sang one of the song s they had so often sung with him. The boys of the G. Watt Wright Sunday school class covere d his grave with the beautiful floral tributes of his friends. We miss you so, Mr. Watt, but we know that we can go to you in that home where pain , sickness, sorrw 22 and old age, can never come. One who loved him.

The Laurinburg Exchange - September 27, 1923 - Memorial Service For Late G. Watt Wright At Gi bson Under Auspices of Gibson Young People's Missionary Society Sunday - The Gibson Methodist chur ch was the scene of one of the most impressive occasions of its history Sunday morning whe n a memorial service was held under the auspices of the Gibson Young People's Missionary Soci ety. in memory of the late Mr. G. Watt Wright, who was one of the most beloved and most highl y honored citizens of this commntiy. The Service was opened with the song, "River of Life," rendered by the choir which was o ne of his favorite pieces. Following the opening anthem were a number of addresses. Mr. Jac k Gibson who spoke for the young people presented very ably his many virtues and his worth t o the community by having lived in it. Mr. Willie Gison and Mr. L. T. Gibson spoke for the S unday school and Bible class respectively. Next in the program was a solo, "Abide With Me, " by Miss Mildred Gibson. Following this number Mr. N. T. Fletcher, Jr., spoke for the Junio rs and little Miss Mildred Lytch for the children, after which was a duet, " My Lov'd One Res t," whick was very beautifully rendered by Misses Mildred Gibson and Belle Caulk. The concl uding number was an address by the Hon. L. M. Blue, who presented in a very touching manner t he value of a Christian life. He spoke at length of his Christian character, his devotion t o duty and his love for his fellow man. The congregation was dismissed with prayer led by Mr . Blue.

Capt. Jas. M. Wright Crosses Great Divide - At Ripe Age of 81 years Veteran Soldier and Citiz en Sets Out on the Great Adventure - Capt. James M. Wright, soldier, citizen and Christian ge ntleman, following an illness of several weeks and a decline in health of more than a year, s et out for the Great Adventure on Friday, December 26, the end of a life that was full and ri ch coming with the Christmastide, with friends and loved ones about him anxiously ministerin g to every need and want. His death was not unexpected, as his advanced age and gradual decl ine in health and strength had made it known to those about him that the end would soon come . He met it bravely, confidently and beautifully, putting out to sea with the same courageou s spirit that characterized his life during its long tenure on earth. When it was learned th at he had passed away there was profound sorrow on every hand, for he was a very popular man , well liked and widely known throughout the county and this part of the state, held high i n the esteem of those who knew him and numbering his friends by the hundreds.

Saturday afternoon at the McNeill grave yard, in the presence of a great gathering of friend s and relatives, an impressive funeral service was held, Dr. F. O. Hellier, his pastor, offic iating and using the text, "A Good Soldier of Jesus Christ," and paying a most beautiful trib ute to the man whose life had counted for so much during the years he had been premitted to l ive and serve in his community, his church and state. Many beautiful floral offerings adde d their contribution of love and appreciation to the scene. And the remains were laid to res t against the day when the just shall live again. The pall bearers were his younger friends , Messrs. Tom Currie, Jim Jackson, Joe Arch McMillan, Edgar Gibson and Bob Monroe.

Capt. Wright was a gentleman of the old school, a man of superior intelligence, possessing t o an eminent degree those sterling qualities of heart and sold which go to make the real man . His moral uprightness, his uncomprising righteousness, unassailable example, staunch manho od and Christian spirit excited in those about him a profound

30 and genuine respect for the ma n and for the exemplary life which he lived. He was one of those men who are always moving t o higher ground and whose eyes are able to visualize the heights ahead; and his example was u plifting and benevolent. A man said after he was gone, "There are few left like Capt. Wright ."

He was meticulously conscientious and loyal and faithful in every relation of lie. A noble f ather, whose life was a bendection to his children, a good husband and a splendid citizen. H e had the enmity of no man and his heart was big enough to see good in all.

Capt. Jas. M. Wright was born January 8, 1839, and died December 26, 1919, nearly 81 years o f age. He was twice married. First to Miss Ellen Christian of Montgomenry County, who died , leaving three children who still survive. They are Mrs. J. C. Birmingham of Laurinburg, M iss Fannie Wright of Washington, D.C., and Mr. Joe Wright of Atlanta. In 1887 he was marrie d to miss Margaret McMillan of Scotland County, who was spared to minister to him during hi s last illness. Soon after his second marriage he moved to Scotland County from Norwood, an d for 30 years has been one of the leading and loyal citizens of the county.

During the War between the States he was among the first to volunteer and fought through th e 4 years of the conflict, receiving only a slight wound. At the close of the war he came ho me and set to work to rebuild that which had been laid waste by war and famine. He was a ma n of bright intellect, gifted with his pen, and filled many positions of importance and trust . He was for a number or years secretary and treasurer of the Farmers Insurance Associatio n of Richmond and Scotland counties and gave up this work only a year or two ago, when failin g health forced him to leave it off. He used to visit Laurinburg quite often and was well an d favorably known here. In June, 1918, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and from that tim e his health declined. He was still able, however, to come to Laurinburg and pay an occasion al visit to friends. He was a faithful member of Laurel Hill Presbyterian church and alway s attended the services when it was possible to do so. At one time he lived in Charlotte an d was engaged in business there for a number of years before coming to this county, and was w ell and favorably known in the Queen City.

Notes for EMERSON WRIGHT: Scotland Citizen Murdered In Marlboro - Mr. Emerson Wright Shot To Death by Laud Quick--Shoot ing occurred at Boykin Church. - Early Monday night of last week, Emerson Wright, aged 28 yea rs, a citizen of the Gibson section of the county, was shot and so seriously wounded that h e died two days later in the Hamlet Hospital without regaining consciounsness. The shootin g occurred about 9 o'clock close to Boykin church, just over the State line, and about two mi les from Gibson. According to the information available, Mr. Wright and his brother, Mr. Man ly Wright, were returning from Bennettsville where they had been during the day attending th e usual trade day held in that town the first Monday in each month. At Boykin church they me t three men, Messrs. Laud and Eb Quick and Frank Stanton, all Marlboro people. The place o f meeting was a close one in the road, and in passing, the Wright brothers , necessarily pass ed close to the other parties. As the teams were passing, Laud Quick, it is said, cursed Smi th and said: "you had better drive over us," to which Emerson Smith replied "you needn't tal k so big about it." At this time, Quick caught hold of Smith and pulled him out of his bugg y and knocked him down. Smith, as soon as he could get up, returned to his buggy and starte d driving off. About this time three pistol shots rang out. Two of them missed their mark , the third entering the back of Emerson Smith's head.

Dr. E. A. Livingston was hurriedly called from Gibson and at once realizing the seriousness o f the wound hurried the wounded man to Hamlet, where he was place in the Hamlet Hospital fo r treatment. The wound was of such a serious nature that no operation was performed. Mr. Wr ight died Wednesday night without regaining consciousness. The body was brought to the famil y home near Gibson, Thursday morning and buried in the family burying ground.

Mr. Wright, who was a son of Mr. Jim Wright, was it is said, a young man of peaceful and quie t disposition, and the sad ending of his young life has brought much sorrow to many hearts i n the county. It is reported that two of the parties who are thought to be responsible for h is death, have been placed under arrest.

Another Account of the Tragedy - Gibson, Jan. 7, Emerson Wright, of this place, died yesterda y following a wound received Monday night when he was fired on while returning home from B ennettsville. Officers are searching for Laud Quick, who, it is charged, did the shooting . Mr. Wright went to Bennettsville Monday and was returning home Monday night. About eigh t o'clock two miles west of Gibson, he drove up near a buggy and told the parties that he wa s in a hurry to get home and would drive by them. Some one in the other buggy told him tha t he would kill the first one who attempted to drive by him. Mr. Wright, of course thought h e was only joking with him and kept on driving. Just as he got in front of the buggy some on e fired four times, the last ball hitting Mr. Wright in the back of the neck. He was hurrie d to the Hamlet Hospital, at which place he died yesterday morning at 12:30 o'clock. His rem ains were brought to Gibson on Yesterday morning's train and were buried this morning at th e Wright cemetery near his home. Mr. Wright was from one of the best families in this secio n and his bereaved ones have many friends who sympathize with them in their sorrow.

Notes for MARTHA LILY WRIGHT: Mrs. Lily Wright Birmingham Is Claimed By Death - Died Almost Suddenly Tuesday Night of Hear t Failure, Funeral Thursday at 10:30 A.M - Mrs. Lily Wright Birmingham, widow of the late J . C. Birmingham, died Tuesday night at her home on Gill street, the end coming almost suddenl y and following an attack of acute heart trouble. Mrs. Birmingham was one of Laurinburg's no blest and finest women and the community was scarcely prepared for the shock occasioned by he r death. She was a quite, sincere Christian woman, whose chief interest were those of her ho me and those dear to her.

Funeral services were conducted Thursday morning at 10:30 at the home, Rev. Carl B. Craig, o f the Presbyterian church, officiating. The interment was in the Laurinburg cemetery. The g rave was banked with a great profusion

68 of beautiful flowers, eloquently testifying to the est eem in which she was held by many dear friends.

Mrs. Birmingham was born March 12, 1870, in Montgomery county and was a daughter of the lat e Capt. J. M. Wright. The family later moved to this county, where they lived for many years .

She was married to the late J. C. Birmingham, who died in 1921, and there are surviving two d aughters, Mrs. Lauch D. McKinnon and Miss Mary Taylor Birmingham, of Laurinburg; one step-dau ghter, Mrs. E. N. Gibson, of Gibson; three step-sons Messrs. R. C. Birmingham, of Charlotte ; C. C. Birmington, of Wilmington, and J. H. Birmingham, of Hamlet. One sister, Miss Fanni e Wright, of Washington, D.C., and one brother, J. W. Wright, of Atlanta.

The Laurinburg Exchange - March 29, 1923 - On Tuesday night, March 20, at her home on Gill st reet, the spirit of Mrs. Lillie Wright Birmingham peacefully passed into it final reward. O n Tuesday monrning, March 22, the funeral service conducted by her pastor; Rev. Carl B. Craig , was held at her late residence. After this service, the body under a profusion of beautifu l flowers, was laid to rest in the city cemetery.

Mrs. Birmingham, the subject of this sketch, was a daughter of the late Capt. J. M. Wright, a nd was born March 12, 1871, in Montgomery county. The family later moved to this county wher e the greater portion of her life was spent.

On September 27, 1893, she was married to the late J. C. Birmingtham, who died in 1921. Ther e are surviving two daughters, Mrs. Lauch D. McKinn, and Miss May Taylor Birmington, of Lauri nburg; one stepdaughter, Mrs. E. N. Gibson, of Gibson; three step-sons, Messrs. R. C. Birming ham, of Charlotte; C. C. Birmingtham, of Wilmington, and J. S. Birmingham, of Hamlet; one sit er, Miss Fannie Wright, of Washington, and one brother, J. C. Wright of Atlanta.

Early in life Mrs. Birmingham joined the Presbyterian church, of which she was a faithful an d consistent menber - ever anxious and willing to serve her church and promote its growth i n every way. Bright of intellect, genial of dispotion and cheerful manner, she left an impre ss for good on those about her. In her were combined traits that made her a strong Christia n character. It was in her home and immediate vicinity that her influence was most felt. Fo r her it may be truly said that she was a devoted, loving mother and an ideal neighbor. Forg etful of self, she was happiest when doing for others, exhibiting in her life a deep Christia n sympathy, and a genuine desire to promote the welfare and comfort of those around her, ther eby displaying the sweet Christian graces which characterized her whole life.

The hearts of many firneds and loved ones were saddened by the almost sudden departure of thi s good woman, but upon her bereaved children the blow falls with almost curshing force. To p them the whole community pours out its tenderest sympathy in this hour of sore afflictionma y the God of all Comfort be theirs and may Sorrow's gloom be brightened with the assurance o f a happy reunion "beyong the veil," where = "With the morn those angel faces smile, Which we have loved long since and lost awhile."

Notes for PETER WRIGHT: Peter Wright Dies In Charlotte Hospital - Succumbs to Injuries Received When Struck by Truc k on Highway 203 One Night Last Week - The death of Peter Wright, son of Mr. Sam J. Wright , of the Masons Cross section, in a Charlotte hospital Saturday adds another to the list of v ictims of automobile accidens in the county. Mr. Wright was fattly injured one night last we ek when struck by a motor truck on highway 203 near Smith's mill. The truck was driven by Mr . Fred Howell of Gibson. According to reports, Mr. Wright had stopped his car on the highwa y and was working on his motor. Mr. Howell was passing in his truck and as he drove past Mr . Wright's car, he stepped into the highway and was stuck on the head by the frame or body o f the truck. The blow was sufficient to cause unconsciousness, it is said, and the young ma n died before regaining consciousness. From information gained about the circumstances, it s eems that the acciden was wholly unavoidable. It was at night and it was raining. Mr. Howel l saw the car parked on the highway, but drove past it with sufficient clearance, it is said , not to creat a dangerous situation. Mr. Wright on the other hand, it is believed, saw th e truck coming, or passing, and thought that it was out of the way and stepped a little too f ar into the road with the resulf that the body of the truck struck his head. Funeral service s were held Sunday morning at the Gibson cemetery, Rev. E. B. Fisher and Rev. O. W. McManus o fficiating.

Notes for ALFRED TIMMINS WRIGHT: The Laurinburg Exchange - October 22, 1925 - McColl, Oct. 14 - Mad Man At McColl Kills Own Da ughter - Was Mad Because She had Married Against His Wishes, Cuts His Own Throat. The secon d murder in 40 years life of this town occured just after 12 o'clock on Tuesday, Oct. 13, whe n Alfred Wright, a mill operative living on the Old Hill shot and instantly killed his 14 yea r old daughter, Annie Mae, as she sat at the sewing machine, sewing. He then turned the gu n on himself, but the shot went amiss. Going under the house, he slashed his throat. The po lice officers rushed him to the Strudwick emergency hospital where Drs. Moore, Blanchard, Liv ingston and Jennings attended to the wounds. He is yet at Strudwick hospital. A few days ag o, Annie Mae was married (against her parents' wishes) to Ben Housard, of Conway; a youth o f 20, the ceremony being performed at Dillon. Wright had the boy arrested, and Magistrate H . B. McIntyre tried the case, placing the boy under a $250 bond. The girl was taken to her p arent's home. The horrible murder is the aftermath of this marriage. It is said amongst th e neighbors that the girl had a very unhappy home; and carried a sad, unsmiling countenance . Doubtless, she followed her sweetheart, thinking to better her condition. The Old Hill wa s in a state of feverish excitement all yesterday afternoon; hundreds went to the home in whi ch lay the murdered child; and several women were prostrated with nervous chills. Perhaps i t was a good thing for the father that he was rushed to Strudwick; for nothing that has eve r happened in this section has so maddened the crowd. This A M, Wright, it is said told som e one he "was not sorry - only wished he had killed out the crowd." To one of the physician s he suggested that he be "given enough strychnine to kill him." Later on he told some one h e would like to see Annie Mae before she was buried. The bereaved mother says she "never wis hes to see him again." Before her marriage to Wright, she was Miss Singleton, the daughter o f Mr. and Mrs. M. Z. Singleton; respected for their industry and honesty. Alfred Wright is t he son of Walter Wright, who recently was sent to the insane asylum. The murdered girl wil l be

83 buried near Mason's Cross, this afternoon.

THE MOTHER'S TESTIMONY - At the inquest held by Coroner T. F. McRae Tuesday the following ev idence was taken: Maud Wright being duly sworn, says: On October 13, 1925, about one o'cloc k, I was in my house with my husband, Alfred Wright and my daughter, Annie Mae Housard. He a sked me to go to my mother's and get him a quart of buttermilk. I left the house. I heard t he gun fire, and my little girt came running, saying, "Papa has shot Annie Mae." I got in th e house as soon as I could; found Annie Mae lying on the floor. She died in less than a minu te. I did not see my husband. This trouble started on account of her marriage with Bennie H ousard. He was opposed to the marriage. He was drinking at the time of the killing. She sa id also that Annie Mae said she could not sleep in day time for her father worrying her. Ann ie Mae worked in the mill at night. (Signed) Maud Wright.

Alfred was a barber as listed on his death certificate.
