Thank you so much for that information.
 
Is there a "best" site to learn about the Wright family of Gola?
 
I'm not sure it was the Wright family of Golagh my 5th great grandfather, Dr John Wright  belonged to, but his son-in-law ( the Rev James Gibson)  stated in a letter written to our family, that his father-in-law ( Dr John Wright)  was "from an ancient family of Wright in County Monaghan."

IF yours owned Mills etc Sharon would be the one to ask, if she doesn't know then Christine will, and they know each other,

http://www.thesilverbowl.com/letters/1944-Marshall_Wright.htm is a letter from Marshall from the Mill I sent location for about the connection to the ones in Ballinode!!

Thank you again for your help!
I will contact Sharon O-B when she returns from Ireland in June. I do know her. There seems to be some connection to the Newbliss Wright family which has come up..

Sharon and I have had contact about the other side of my Wright family , which is the Gibson side, and has put some of the information we had on them up on her blog site. It's just about putting the pieces together, isn't it/ Hard when we go back to the late 1700's and early 1800's! But .... one day!

In 2000 I had been sent an email from Brian Trainer who had  read a quote from a book in the Monaghan Library :
: The lands of Ross Ban McMahon were divided between Lord Masserene, John Foster and Thomas Coote. Coote had his seat at Foothill... Coote sold much of his land to other settlers. Among those ( 1661) were the ancestors of the Wright's ( later the Woodwrights) of Gola."

Would anyone have any information on these early Wright families of Cootehill?
