Problem with this page?
I cut the second John Wright III master profile loose. Presumably he'll match the main one eventually. Mary Pace has been merged and all children included as children of John Wright of Bedford County.
We still need to figure out some idea of parentage of this John Wright or this kind of screw-up is bound to recur.
I merged Capt. John Wright, Jr. with Dan Cornett continuing as curator. This is probably the most prolific line of descent, as well as the confusions of a “generic” name and Migration from Virginia to North Carolina. The “about” has a lot of information in it!
Looks great!!
For Ann Wright , though, the death date in the overview does not match the death date in the profile.
I’m looking ....
Found this on https://www.familysearch.org/service/records/storage/das-mem/patron...
"This will of Capt. John Wright, Gent., also names 18 children, all by wife Ann (Williams) Wright“
Oye.
This should help keep these kids straight
https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000085213190185&
I see only the following named within:
'4T273,274 John Wright’s will Surry Co. 1790 at Dobson. "I give to my Daughters Lezebeth Arnold, Nancy Elliott, Agatha Elsbury, Amelia Martain, Lucrecia Petty, and Frances Reiley all of them twenty Shillings each ..." Gives land to wife - bounded by Sam’l Arnold’s land, Dated 1789, 8 Oct.'
We have all of those save Nancy Elliott. We've got 13 kids overall, so we're only missing 5, and with Nancy, just 4. ;-)
It appears somebody merged the Wrights from Caroline County into this family and then disconnected some of the children of the family. I have never found any connection between the two other than last name. Caroline County is a burned record county and there will not be any connection to be made, due to lack of records. Please restore this data.

From http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hnpar... - Neal Parker's Family - by H. Neal Parker (nparker@airmail.net):
There are 2 Moses Carnals. Caroline Co., Virginia records contain references to Moses Carnal, Senr. and to Moses Carnal, Junr. I am going to assume that the younger Moses Carnal is a son of the older one, but he might be some other relative, for example, a nephew. Since Moses Carnal, Senr. died in 1773, any reference after that date is to Moses Carnal, Junr. Some of the citations before 1773 in the notes under Moses Carnal, Senr. may in fact refer to Moses Carnal, Junr. The following citations from Caroline Co. order books are from a series of abstracts of Caroline Co. records by John Frederick Dorman (1732-1770) or from another series of abstracts by Ruth and Sam Sparacio (1765-1787).
On January 12, 1758 Moses Kernal, Jr. and 8 others are ordered to help Moses Karnal in keeping the road in repair. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1755-58, pg 323)
On March 11, 1762 Fanny, a Negro girl to belonging to Moses Carnal, Jr., is adjudged to be 10 years old. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1759-1763, pg 270)
On April 13, 1775 a proposal for a new road pursuant to a petition of William McGehee for leave to turn the Old Road and an order of March 1775 is accepted. It will cross a small corner of Moses Carnal's & Carr McGehee's land and then later will cross a small corner of Carnal's land to Carr McGehee's Path. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1772-1776, pg 593)
On April 8, 1784 a deed from Moses Carnal to Jonathan Terrell is acknowledged by Carnal. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1781-1785, pg 318)
On July 9, 1784 Thomas Jones, executor of John Jones, plaintiff, against Moses Carnal, defendant. Defendant although solemnly called came not. It is ordered that the plaintiff recover £1 13s 4d plus costs. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1781-1785, pg 442)
On June 11, 1785 Patrick Carnal, plaintiff, against John Yarbrough & Thomas Harris, defendants. In debt. Harris did not appear. If he does not appear at next court a judgement will be entered against him and Moses Carnal, the Security for his appearance. "And as to the defendant Yarbrough this suit abates by the Sheriff's return." (Caroline Co. Order Book 1785-1787, pg 67)
Moses Carnall did weaving for John Wright in 1784, and in 1797 there is a suit over a bill for weaving. In John Wright's undated will he refers to the children of his daughter Keziah Carnall. On June 30, 1785 Moses Carnall and John Harris give bond to William Wright, executor of John Wright, dec'd. (CAROLINE COUNTY, VIRGINIA COURT RECORDS 1742-1833 AND MARRIAGES 1787-1810, pg 22)
On November 10, 1801 William Wigglesworth recovered against Moses Carnall and Pleasant Carnall. By January 22, 1808 both Wigglesworth and Carnall are dead.(Ibid, pg 166)
CAROLINE CO., VIRGINIA LAND TAX LIST:
Land tax records are available from 1782 onward. The first list of proprietors is for 1787 and prior to then only transactions are available. In 1786 Moses Cearnal sells 160 acres to Daniel Coleman. He is not in the proprietor list until 1795. In 1794 he buys 495 acres from William Samuel. From 1795 to 1800 he is in the proprietor list with 495 acres worth £127 17/6. In 1801 Moses sells 100 acres to John Woolfolk, and in 1802 he has 395 acres. By 1803 those 395 acres have been increased to 400 and distributed to his widow Keziah (85 acres worth $73.22), Richmond Carnal (80 acres worth $68.90), Pleasant Carnal (80 acres worth $68.90), Achilles Carnal (80 acres worth $68.90) and William Smith (75 acres worth $64.33). Keziah is the owner of 85 acres from 1804 to 1815 and in 1816 her land is transferred to Richmond. Keziah' land is said to be bounded by Pleasant Carnal and to be 13 miles west of the courthouse.

From 1803 to 1816 Keziah Carnal usually has 1 slave over 16 but occasionally none and 1 or 2 horses.
Year after year the Caroline Co. personal tax roll is presented as two distinct lists. Typically all of the Carnals are in just one of the lists. In some years that list is described as being for a certain part of the county. In those cases it is always for St. Margaret's Parish. From time to time 1 or 2 Carnals are in the other list.

CAROLINE CO. LAND TAX LIST:
Land tax records are available from 1782 onward. The first list of proprietors is for 1787 and prior to then only transactions are available. In 1803 Pleasant Carnal inherits 80 acres from his father's estate, and from 1804 to 1815 he has 80 acres. In 1816 24 acres are transferred to his brother Richmond and from 1817 to 1824 he has 56 acres. I have not seen any records subsequent to 1824. Pleasant's land is said to be bounded by Thomas Hackett and to be 13 miles west of the courthouse.
CAROLINE CO. PERSONAL TAX LIST:
Personal tax records are available from 1783 onward. Pleasant Carnal is in the Caroline Co. Personal Tax List from 1788 to 1826. I have not seen the list for after 1826. In 1788 he is a white male tithable over 16. He is presumably the white male 16-21 in the entries of his father Moses Carnal from 1784 to 1787. If he became 16 in 1784 he was born about 1768. He often has 1 slave over 12, sometimes 2 and sometimes none. He most commonly has 2 horses but sometimes 1 and occasionally none.

CAROLINE CO. PERSONAL TAX LIST:
Personal tax records are available from 1783 onward. Richmond Carnal first appears in the Caroline Co. Personal Tax List in 1789 as a tithable greater than 16 in the household of Moses Carnal, presumbly his father. If he became 16 in 1789, he was born about 1773. He remains in his father's household until 1795. He has his own entry for the first time in that same year, but only because he has 1 stud horse/jack, which is heavily taxed. From 1795 to 1821 he has an entry in the tax list. I have not seen the list for after 1826. He has a stud horse until 1800; only a few people in the county have such a horse. From 1799 to 1815 the number of slaves over 12 that he owns gradually increases from 1 to 4. After 1801 he usually has 3 horses. In 1816 and later he has fewer slaves over 12 (2 and sometimes only 1) and usually 2 horses.
9 iii. Achilles CARNALL was born about 1778.

CAROLINE CO. LAND TAX LIST:
Land tax records are available from 1782 onward. The first list of proprietors is for 1787 and prior to then only transactions are available. In 1803 Achilles Carnal inherits 80 acres from his father's estate, and in 1805 he sells 6 acres of it to Jno. White. Until 1815 he has 74 acres. In 1816 20 acres are transferred to his brother Richmond and from 1817 to 1824 he has 54 acres. I have not seen any records subsequent to 1824. Achilles's land is said to be bounded by Richmond Carnal and to be 13 miles west of the courthouse.
CAROLINE CO. PERSONAL TAX LIST:
Personal tax records are available from 1783 onward. Achilles Carnal first appears in the Caroline Co. Personal Tax List in 1794 as a tithable greater than 16 in the household of Moses Carnall, presumbly his father. If he became 16 in 1794, he was born about 1778. He remains in his father's household definitely until 1797 and probably until 1799. From 1800 to 1826 he has his own entry. I have not seen the list for after 1826. Twice he has one slave over 12 but usually he has none. Sometimes he has one horse and sometimes none.

Thank you so much, Private User
Starting to put this back together:
John Wright, of Caroline County
There’s a Rev. Moses Carnal a couple of generations down but I see conflicting suggestions for his parents so wanted an opinion on how it’s likely he descended from Moses Carnall
?
I have not yet found the ancestral profiles for Carnal.
Locking relationships in this complex lineage is a reprehensible act. The Amherst Wrights have DNA evidence for our ties to the Washington lineage, as well as AMPLE paper trails in the counties involved.
However, since Geni.com is a fourth-rate (or worse) so-called "genealogical" site, I have come to expect the nonsense you are serving up in this particular case, along with many others.
Cheryl Adams Rychkov You might misunderstand.
A curator relationship lock is “exactly” to prevent Mismerges in complex lines!
Look what happened to the Wright families, a few years ago it was fine. If we had had locking then (we only got the tool a couple years ago) there would have been a whole lot less to fix now.
With a relationship lock merging and editing continue; and if there is no information that changes things, it’s very easy to start a discussion from profile, explain the change needed / curator action needed, and a curator will facilitate. That’s exactly how this cleanup started: a Wright family member noticing an issue that needed fixing.
Is there a profile that needs attention? Can you say which one or which area?
Cheryl Adams Rychkov As Erica states, the problem is not that there's locking, or that anyone is trying to foist one particular genealogical theory on others, but rather that a lot of people just make errors -- small, and large. The errors are impossible to overlook -- people who have numerous simultaneous wives, for instance, or who need to be half a country away at the same time -- that kind of thing. If you rely on web trees for relationships, you can easily find that many web trees have exactly the same kinds of errors, and they get propagated into Geni too.
It's one of the *strengths* of Geni that it has curators to help sort this stuff out.
If you have a specific problem with what's been done, please be sure to post us what you think the difference is. Give us your data!
I have my Cash/Wright/Washington lineage documented not by how I see so many people do here -- via other websites -- but by county courthouse records, docs from the Library of Virginia, parish registers, and court order books, as well as DNA. And yet, this lineage is disrupted on geni.com because some other person "says it isn't so." It's absurd. There are many people trying to make their families "fit" where they most certainly don't. I am a 14th generation Virginian, a member of the Jamestowne Society, and a credentialed historian. I would not make the above claims lightly. However, much lightness is used daily on this site. It is sad and it is obvious.
Cheryl Adams Rychkov, what you need to do is make sure the documentation and evidence you have appears in the profiles in question. Without that, it's effectively not there at all, and when someone tries to make sense of multiple different trees without it, they can't be blamed if they conclude something other than what you'd conclude.
Geni is not a collection of personal trees -- it's a world tree, managed by multiple people. If you have a case to make, then by all means make it. That's the only way this can work.
The documentation and evidence was present, not placed by me, but someone I do not know. However, it was correct. Then one day I have a look around and it's all been removed. So that some other line can take its place, a line that doesn't quite work, but it seems here that simply one's word suffices. If that is what a "world tree" means, I'll stick with my Virginia primary sources. It's all I need to know who I am. But I find it very disturbing the liberties taken on this and other sites. Muddying the waters and appropriating old and established lines is worrisome. And repulsive.
Cheryl Adams Rychkov we need to know what profiles you are referring to. Everything on geni can be updated but not when it’s not specific.

everything at wikitree right now should be correct.
