The author has amassed a bounty of information about Wrights in southern Virginia. This volume is a collection of Wright records from Appomattox County, Virginia. This work is divided into the following sections: census records (1850-1900), deed records (1845-1910), land tax lists (1845-1863), death records (1852-1920), and probate records (1845-1900). Each section contains source information and an index. Sources include official county records in the Library of Virginia in Richmond, the National Archives, and other references. A most helpful feature for each entry is the "identification" column, in which the author identifies the specific family and Wright ancestors from whom the named Wright descends.
