    Subject: Wright family tree
    Hi Sandy!
    It was great to see your reply! I'm happy to share all that I have,
    though it is not comprehensively documented. My knowledge of Samuel
    A. Wright comes from my grandmother and mother's recollections and
    some family tree info researched by my aunt. I have several photos of
    Samuel as well, though not scanned as yet. One discrepancy with your
    posted tree is that the wife of Samuel was Sarah Josephine WATSON, not
    WRIGHTMAN. I have a great deal of tree information preceding
    Josephine Watson, going back to Holland with a strong connection to
    the BANTA family -- back to 1615, if you want it. My grandmother was
    Ruth Frances WRIGHT, Samuel and Josie's daughter.
    I have attached a .pdf document printed from my genealogy program
    Reunion. It details all the information from John W. Wright on down.
    It does not include any of the Banta family line that precedes Sarah
    Josephine Watson, though as I said above you are welcome to it. As
    you see, I have some Douglas family tree info and
    I also have been looking for more information on Julia Ann McCoy
    without success.
    It's great to make contact and I hope this info adds well to yourtree!
    Regards, Mike Petros"
