I'm wondering if you'd consider taking a Y-DNA Test too (Y37 or better) with the Wright FamilyTreeDNA project (https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/wright/about/background) to tie your wealth of research to one of our known family groups?
I'm thinking your Wrights may be R-M269#19 in our project. But I'm not sure.
We also have a Wright Genealogy facebook group -- in case you haven't seen it, it's here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WrightSurnameFTDNA

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
I couldn't agree more about making information as accurate as possible here on WikiTree. Start by adding your limbs to our great big ole shared tree.
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
See you in the branches --

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
