 Wright Brothers Collection
WILBUR AND ORVILLE WRIGHT Wilbur Wright was born April 16, 1867, on a farm not far from New Castle, Indiana, Orville was born in Dayton, Ohio, on Aug. 19, 1871.
Founded in 1964, Wright State University was built on land deeded in part by Wright Patterson Air Force Base and lies within a mile of Huffman Prairie, the site of Simms Station, where Orville and Wilbur Wright perfected their flying machines in 1904 and 1905 [see Box 16, files 5-7].
Wright State University's collection includes over 200 technical books, journals, and pamphlets accumulated by the Wright Brothers, over 500 items related to their research, business, and legal endeavors, more than 1,000 genealogical items gathered by Bishop Milton Wright and Orville Wright, nearly 3,600 photographs, and over 700 items representing awards and other memorabilia-approximately 6,000 items.

 Sewall Wright Papers, American Philosophical Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
One of the pioneers of quantitative genetics and evolutionary biology, Sewall Wright was born in Wisconsin on December 21, 1889.
By 1918, Wright had worked out a new statistical approach, path analysis, which now has wide application in sociology, econometrics, and behavioral genetics, and with this new tool, began investigating some fundamental questions in inheritance and population genetics, delving into the relative influence of heredity and the environment in determining the appearance of traits.
Although Wright is often said to have presented a "non-Darwinian" model for evolutionary change, he later insisted that what he had provided was instead a means of producing variability upon which the powerful forces of Darwinian natural selection could operate.

 Wilbur and Orville Wright Papers (Library of Congress)
Letters from Wilbur and Orville Wright to their sister and father provide details of their thoughts and activities while they were conducting aeronautical experiments at Kitty Hawk or making flight demonstrations in Europe.
This exchange of letters begins with Wilbur Wright's prophetic statement of 13 May 1900, "for some years I have been afflicted with the belief that flight is possible to man." The letters, with their discussions of the unresolved scientific and philosophic problems posed by manned flight, indicate a shared dedication to a common goal.
As a result of this dispute Orville Wright lent the 1903 Wright flying machine to the Science Museum in London in 1928, and it was not installed in the Smithsonian Institution until after his death in 1948.

 James S. Wright and Caroline Winfrey of Surry and Cherokee Co, NC
I've never found any primary evidence that James was a child of Aaron Wright and Mary Murphy, but scads of circumstantial evidence strongly indicate it, and we have a strong family tradition that James' father was named Aaron.
James S. Wright did not appear on the 1840 census, but I feel fairly confidant that he was residing with his father-in-law Caleb Winfrey, as his household seem to have extra people who were a perfect age match with James, his wife and their children.
She may have been named after her 1st cousin Media Ann Wright (daughter of Daniel S. Wright), or perhaps they were both named after a common relative.
