Hello,
I have a DNA match on MyHeritage who descends from an Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Abigail Wright. Elizabeth was born in Stoke St. Milborough, and my direct male line comes from Stoke St. Milborough, so I believe that I am related somehow to this family. I also have a number of Wrights appearing in my Y-chromosome matches (FTDNA) as far-distant relatives. It is possible, though not proven, therefore, that the father of my ancestor Thomas Bridgwater (b.c. 1823) is a Wright who is related to Elizabeth Wright. Since Thomas has a brother called William, also illegitimate, I'm assuming Thomas or William might be relevant first names.
Can anyone find any information on the males in the family of Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Abigail Wright, who could have been a potential father for Thomas Bridgwater circa 1823? So basically, where the Wright family (related in some way to Elizabeth Wright) were located and who they comprised in the 1820s. What I already know about Elizabeth Wright and Abigal Wright is below based on searching on familysearch.org.
