The author has amassed a bounty of information about Wrights in southern Virginia. This volume is a collection of Wright records from Nelson County, Virginia. This work is divided into the following sections: Birth Records, 1853-1896; Marriage Records, 1808-1910; Census Records, 1810-1900; Patent Deeds and Land Grants; Deed Records, 1808-1910; Death Records, 1853-1896; and Probate Records, 1808-1900. Each section contains source information and an index. Sources include official county records in the Library of Virginia in Richmond. 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.
