Research

The merge completed to (Wright-54012) was linked to a father, John Wright (abt.1730-abt.1746). This father relationship was not carried forward in the completed merge. The profile of the purported father, John Wright (abt.1730-abt.1746) only contained a birth year of 1730 and a death year of 1746 - making the father only 16 years old. There were no locations, sources, or other information to support the relationship. The information should be sourced to support adding John Wright (abt.1730-abt.1746) as the father.
