In McIntosh's book it was further noted that "William Wooldridge, the father of Gibson Wooldridge, came to Surrey County, North Carolina from Chesterfield County, Virginia in 1773 as deeds of record in the former county show. He served as a member of the grand jury of Surrey County as shown in Book 1775-1778, Index of Colonial and State Records, Vol. XXX, page 424. He was appointed Captain of his district in 1778 and retained that position until his removal to Georgia. This William married Sarah Flournoy, a Hugenot, who came to Virginia in 1700. He was accompanied to Georgia by his son, and a son-in-law by the name of Hudspeth. They arrived in Georgia in the winter of 1783, as deed records in Book C-P 102 in office of Clerk of the Superior Court of Elbert County shows. "

In her DAR application, Eva Mae Halbert Hackney, detailed the following as William Wooldridge's services in assisting the establishment of American Independence during the War of the Revolution: --Captain of District (not military) and Juror for Surrey County, North Carolina. (Reference "North Carolina State Records" Vol 22 p. 502, Vol 23 p. 994, Vol 30 p. 424, DAR Patriot Index p. 762).

Frances Eleanor "Ellen"

Wikipedia Biography Frances Ellen Work

Born in New York City, she was a daughter of Franklin H. Work "Frank" (1819? 1911), a well-known stockbroker and prot?g? of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and his wife, Ellen Wood (1831? 1877). [1]

On September 22, 1880, at Christ Church, New York City, Frances Work married the Hon. James Boothby Burke Roche, who would later become the 3rd Baron Fermoy. They had four children: two daughters Cynthia Roche and Eileen, and twin sons Francis and Edmund. Edmund later became the 4th Baron Fermoy, and was the grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales. Frances divorced Roche for desertion in 1891, before he had succeeded to the barony. Her lawyer was Thomas F. Bayard, former United States Secretary of State.[2]

On August 4, 1905, the Hon. Mrs. Burke Roche married Aurel de Batonyi, a Hungarian-born riding instructor and society horseman. When he had immigrated to the United States on the Majestic in 1891, Batonyi claimed he was a count. [3] It was also suggested that his real name was Arthur Cohn. [4] Frances sued de Batonyi for divorce two years after their marriage, allegedly because her father threatened to disinherit her if she continued to live with her husband. [4]

She was a prominent figure in the New York City and Newport, Rhode Island, social sets, and was friends with Mrs Reginald Vanderbilt. Her sister, Lucy Bond Work married Peter Cooper Hewitt, a son of New York City Mayor Abram Stevens Hewitt.
She died in the city of her birth at the age of 89. [1]

PRI article, "Dollar Princesses"

Next week, Prince William will take Kate Middleton as his wife in what's being hailed, again, as the wedding of the century.

The pews will be filled with world leaders, other royal family and members of the British aristocracy.

Within that aristocracy will be a strong American connection. For many of their number are descendants of a generation of U.S. women. They were called the "dollar princesses."

The dollar princesses were a breed of very rich American girls who came over at the end of the 19th century to Britain and to Europe, looking for titles. And it was simple as that. It was cash in return for a title.

Daisy Goodwin has written novel, "The American Heiress," based on the lives of these women. Goodwin said newly wealthy Americans like the Vanderbilts had just about everything they wanted, except social status.

"Even though the Vanderbilts, for example, had more money than anybody, they weren't being asked to the nicest parties."

Consuelo Vanderbilt
The solution lay across the Atlantic in Britain. Dukes and earls, struggling with debt and dilapidated castles, were looking for wives with multi-million dollar dowries. The Vanderbilts 19-year-old daughter, Consuelo, married the Duke of Marlborough in 1895.
Goodwin said she was one of the first to make the journey, and the deal.

"When these American girls came over they were so much richer, so the men could hardly resist. And a quarter of the British aristocracy married American money in the period between 1890 and 1910. It's no exaggeration to say these dollar princesses saved the British aristocracy for a generation. They kept the stately homes of England going."

The phenomenon sparked a magazine called "Titled American," which Goodwin said was the "match.com" of its day.

The lives of the dollar princesses were closely followed in the U.S. press.

British men found them vivacious and independent. But for all their fame and considerable fortune, Goodwin said they failed to make fans out of one group ? the English women who suddenly lost their chance at nobility.

"They had kind of grown up from the nursery expecting to marry the Duke of This or the Earl of That, and that's what they were trained to do. And then suddenly, their career prospects were kind of jettisoned by some American girl from nowhere in their opinion who came in looking lovely but had no idea about how to dress, what to do, how to hold her fork or whatever and she would just pinch the most eligible bachelor from under these poor British girls' noses. And they hated it."

As in the much-watched case of Princesses Diana, many of the dollar princesses ended up in loveless marriages. That includes Diana's own great grandmother, Frances Work who was, in fact a dollar princess.

And so, Prince William also has stateside ancestry, thanks to the American obsession with British class and status. In some ways, said Goodwin, it marked the start of Anglo-mania.

"America had all the money but Britain had all the tradition and hey, that's something that hasn't really changed has it, you know. I would say that in America, there's probably more interest in the royal wedding than there is here even. And I'm amazed by that. But I think it's rather wonderful."

Benjamin

Abt 1794

Aft 1840

Melba Gene McLemore thinks his middle name is Harrison, but this is not proven.

Julia Molitz has church records relating to the Benjamin Wright family that she shared with Melba Gene McLemore. They are from the book "Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Lincoln County, Tennessee" by Betty Via. These records show that Benjamin Wright was an 1833 constituting member; on 1840 membership list; joined by letter June, 1844; delegate to the association in 1844-1845, 1858-1849, and in 1851, on 1852 and 1859 membership lists; granted letter, August 1859. The book notes that Benjamin Wright was born about 1795 and married his wife, Hannah before 1816, and that they lived in Lincoln (now Moore) County, Tennessee.

MISSOULA - Douglas G. Wright, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully from complications of leukemia, on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2010, with his loving family by his side.

Doug began his life in Lubbock, Texas, on March 24, 1943, born to Clarence and Billie Wright. He was one of five children who grew up in Vancouver, Wash. He has made Missoula his home since 1963.

He lived life to the fullest with his loving wife Phyllis, creating a lifetime of memo-ries during their years together.

They were never at a loss for things to talk about.

Doug will always be remembered for his passion for life, love of people and his incredible walk with the Lord.

Doug's legacy includes his soul mate, Phyllis Wright; son Curtis Wright; daughters, Cari Thrapp, Corin Schneider, Trena Gauci (Michael), Ronlyn Howe (Scott), Morgan Barndt (Jim), and Lynette Kerpon(Dave); sisters, Eva Schram, Shirley Gilbert, and Dot Warner (Jim); as well as 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

A celebration of his life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at the Christian Life Center in Missoula, with a refreshment reception to immediately follow.

Middle name sometimes shown as HARRISON.

Melba Gene McLemore found a Power of Attorney from James Wright to William H. Ragsdale, proven by oath of John WILLY and John ISOM, GI Cty., TN Cty. Ct. Min. p 201.

Will Johnson shows him, apparently in error, as dying after 1870 in Illinois. This contradicts the research of both Douglas Wright and Melba Gene McLemore, who both show his death much earlier, Doug Wright shows he died in Hamilton County, Texas whereas Melba Gene shows he died in Mississippi. He is not listed with his wife and children at the time of the 1860 Rusk County, Texas census.

Said to be a daughter of Rev. John Wesley Wright and Cynthia Elvira Gary.

From FindAGrave:

Larrissa Cordelia Wright, called "Delia" as a girl, Cordelia when grown, Irenia Opheilia Wright, Cynthia Sarah Wright and Isaac William Wright were reared by twice widowed maternal Grandma Mary (Carter) Gary Loggins (born TN). Mary Loggins loved them, taught them Christian values and that family meant everything. They became fine young people, decent, honest and hard working. The girls knew how to cook great meals and how to maintain a home. They all helped her on her farm and somehow they managed even during those hard times.

Larrissa Cordelia Wright married Charles Ayers "Jack" Wood, a young farmer. "Jack" and Cordelia Wood and their children lived with Grandma Mary Ann Jackson (Carter) [Gary] Loggins.
