Irene Corn Wright was probably the person who transcribed the Wright history from notes
in the Bible, along with interviews with Janie Wright DeBruhl. Mam Wright, and Sadie Wright.
Her husband Tom Wright was interested in the Wright family history, but wasn't the type who
would take the time to record it. His wife Irene Corn Wright was interested in preserving the
notes and interviews.

Bob Reynolds [see Reynolds Mountain, etc.] How she wound up at Newton instead of Abernethy Methodist or Alexander Chapel is something of a mystery. Perhaps through the connection to the Reynoldses or she may have consorted with a Patton.A great side note. Researching this I found out that we had grandfathers [great,great great, etc] named Lafayette ["Fate"] Cunningham and Montreville ["Mont" ] Snider. There was also a Nehemiah Blackstock.You have to love that.The research was fairly easy. All was transcribed by Mam Wright and Sadie and Mom De Bruhl from family Bibles. Everything is here-- filed, annotated, etc.-- at Elk Mountain.
