Additional Comments:
John W. Wright was born in England in 1804 and came to America with his 
parents (John W?. and Elizabeth), a brother, Samuel, and sister, Ann, circa 
1808.  Although young, John W. was always said to remember Liverpool.
The parents died of fever and were buried near Charleston, SC.  Samuel returned
to England.  John W. made his home with his sister Ann who was said to have 
married Jake Ringer and lived near LaGrange, GA.  Two of the Ringer children 
were Douglas and Jane (m. Hubbard).

Following Ann Jane McJunkin Wright's death in 1850, John married Emmaline 
Parker.  By the mid-1870's, they were living in Clay County, AL where their
three youngest children were born.  Other McJunkin and and Parker relatives 
also migrated to Clay County.  Many Wright and McJunkin descendants are buried 
in the Mt. Gilead Methodist Cemetery (Sikesville Community)in Clay County, AL. 
Frances Emmaline Parker Wright's 100th birthday celebration in 1935, including 
relatives in attendance, is recorded under newspaper articles, AL Gen Web 
Archives site, Clay Co.
