Yes, I do have information to document this, and would be happy to share with you. Are
you researching the Thomas line or the Right/Wright line? I am a descendant of Wiley and
Ann (Coleman) Wright/Right.
Are you aware of any other children of CATHERINE RIGHT? Believe may have located her
husband in Union County South Carolina, but not positive. Located a will recorded in 1804
showing wife Catherine and mentions but not naming children. Administrators of the will
were ELI HAWKINS and JAMES C VEALE.
Trying to determine who the three James Right/Wrights and William Right/Wright were in the
early census records of Daviess County. Same names have been located in census records in
Union County South Carolina prior to locating them in Indiana.
One James Right is the son of Catherine I am almost positive as in the 1840 census he is
living near Sally Hawkins father.
I question if the other two were possibly Catherine's brother in law and a son or a
step-child but have found no evidence yet. Same may be with William Right/Wright.
