I will be traveling to indiana next week to research more info for the site.
Of interest, I have recently received info that indicates that Philburd
Wright of Maryland might be the ancestor of Richard Wright, Sr. I will
publish this after I research it further.
As usual, additional info and corrections appreciated.
