It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Wright by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Wright:

In 1815, in Jefferson County, GA, a Wright R. Coleman married a Clarissa Johnson. It seems possible these could be the parents of Wright R. Coleman, given the continuation of the names Wright and Clarisa.

Is his middle name "Ringo" or "Ringgold"? Important difference....one is a county in northern GA.
