My father's name was Melmond M. Wright and was born in Rome Ga. He was Melmond M. Wright lll. His grandfather was Melmond Mantleburt Wright and his father was Melmond Mannington Wright. So even though the middle name was different , the initials are the same, so he really was the lll.( His brother and sister are still alive. Whats really cool is: my father named his son after himself (deceased), He named his son the same (living) and his son as well (also living). He goes by the name Quint . "Quint " represents 5; the fifth Melmond Mannington Wright. Isnt that cool ?! What's wierd is : he is Melmond M. Wright the Sixth ! See? I see that you list some relatives on the websight I don't know who they are but I'm interested in finding out. All of the individuals I've listed live/ lived in Florida. Daddy's father married Era Victoria Echols and moved to Florida. "The Old Homeplace", the old Wright family home is in Rome not far from Berry College. Please contact me . Thanks!!!!

Thursday, December 2nd 2004 - 04:15:22 PM Name: Ray Etheridge E-mail address: ereeth@inteliport.com Comments: Dave, It was my mistake,at the beginning of the diary of your website, it was Fuqua Beasley, the father of John Fletcher Beasley, who says he was born in North Carolina. You have a great website. I wish I had the experience with a computer that you have. I am enjoying your music. It is a great and wide selection, songs that I haven't heard in years. You could add a few more Confederate songs!!!I am a member of William F. Martin Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans. My great grandfather was in the 68th North Carolina Regiment Volunteers. It was a Guerrilla Company that operated locally with camps in the local swamps, but later went to Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, after GeneralEdward Wild and his colored troops started burning their homes,taking their wives as hostages and hanging some of the soldiers. Thanks again again for letting me visit your website.
