Notes in one of the genealogy sources (Fishers and more - by Lavonne Fisher-Radloff) states that he 'emigrated in 1732 to Georgia. Under religion, she states: "He removed from Nottingham Monthly Meeting to Monocacy MM in Prince Gorge County, Maryland, where he married Rachel Wells. Both John and Rachel became Overseers of the Men's and Women's Meetings of Monocacy in 1745. They transferred to Hopewell". Later a residence of 1760 Camden District, Newberry, SC. With the seven minor children born to them by that time the Wright's were granted a certificate to Carvers Creek Monthly Meeting in North Carolina. They became charter members in 1751 of Cane Creek MM in Orange County, NC. They became parents of six more children during the time in NC. There was also reference to "1749 Cane Creek MM, Orange, NC. " * (which does not make sense if Cane Creek was started in 1751, however the date of 1749 is significant to the Wright family becuse of the date on the 'Wright Bell'.
*Orange County N.C. is now Alamance County.
