      There are also Alabama land records for a Wright Coley, as follows

      The age and location are a good fit, but it is not certain the records above are for the Wright Coley who moved to Texas ca 1835. Further research should be done.

      Ancestry.com also lists numerous Texas Land Title Abstracts relating to Wright Coley, though based on the dates they were likely related to his son, or some other Wright Coley.
