WRIGHT
2 Oct 1997
I have a branch of the Wright family starting out in
Southampton County Virginia that I can't seem to go any
further back on. Job Wright was born about 1757 we think in
Southampton County Virginia. We have a receipt dated
October 1781 where he donated beef for public use. He
married a Sarah Newton we think in VA because she died 27
april 1811 in Mecklenburg co. VA according to their son's
bible, which is still in the family. Job, sons Newton and
John then moved to Rutherford County North Carolina with
their wives and children after 1813 when Newton came back
from war 1812. Shortly before they left, Newton married
SARAH FARMER. Job had a sister, Salley, who married a "Griffin";
and lived in Georgia. We have a copy of a letter she wrote to Job dated 04 April
1813 addressed to him in Mecklenburg County VA. The letter was delivered by a "Mr. Flomroy
or Floumroy";. We have Job's line
all the way to the present on Newton and Jack. Job and
Sarah's four children are as follows:
A. - NEWTON (our direct line) b. 21 april 1792 possibly in

Newton's and Jack's lines we have mostly to the present. It's Sarah Newton and Job Wright's parents and salley wright griffin and any other brothers and sisters and children we are looking for. I'm at a standstill and if you think you might have a lead on this, I would appreciate your email. I have published Job Wright: Nine Generations in 1996. This 184-page book contains all the descendants to the present that I have here so far. I am looking to do a Volume II. Any information you could supply would be greatly appreciated thanks!

would be greatly appreciated.
