Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOHN2 WRIGHT  (ARTHUR1) was born February 14, 1775 in Wilkes Co. GA, and died June 27, 1861 in Union Parish, LA.  He married DRUCILLA GRIFFIN before 1800 in GA, daughter of OWEN GRIFFIN and ANNE STOVALL.  She was born about 1784 in Granville Co. NC, and died August 10, 1852 in Union Parish, LA.

 

Notes for JOHN WRIGHT:

        John Wright shows residence at Wilkes Co. GA in 1805.

 

        Arthur Wright's oldest son, John Wright, apparently moved his family from Wilkes Co., Ga., to Perry Co. Ala. sometime around 1812.  During that period of time those areas of Georgia and Alabama in which they lived were dangerous for settlers to occupy.  The area was inhabited by the Creek, Choctaw, Cherokee, and Chickasaw Indian tribes, and the Creeks were very warlike.  The family probably moved by oxen and wagon with other families over rugged trails, a journey of over 250 miles, and it probably took them several weeks to make the trip, through dangerous territory.  We have no knowledge if any of the Wright family were directly involved with Indian problems.

William Wright Heard was Governor of Louisiana, May 9, 1900 until May 21, 1904.

 

After leaving the Gov.'s  office he moved to New Orleans and became the vice president of the State National Bank in which position he continued for several years.

 

He first served as clerk and deputy clerk of Court in Union Parish from 1876-1892, was elected to the legislature in 1884 and to the Senate in 1888.
