I've hit a stone wall in my Wright line of England. William Wright and his brother James sailed from England in 1682 aboard the "Bristol Factor". (one of William Penn's ships). They settled in Maryland. They were Nicholites, a branch of the Quakers (Society of Friends). William's son, also called William married Sarah Noble. They had a son named Roger Wright. As you can see I have very few dates for this time period. I know there were alot of Wright's and still are alot of Wright's in England. But if anyone has any information on this line of Wright's or can guide me to sources on this line I would be grateful.

Notes for JAMES WRIGHT:
Source: E. Parker Todd <ptodd@fastol.com> Home Page: The Todd Family of Caroline County, Maryland has him as son of Roger Wright and Mary Boyd
Nicholite Quaker
The Maryland marriage records show two marriages between a James Wright and a Sarah (Harriss & Wright). Only the Wright-Harriss marriage has a son William recorded. This is from Nicholite marriage records, Society of Friends.
It is possible, then, that the other James has the ancestry shown here. See "Wrights of Bloomery," in which James, son of Levin, is said to have married Mary Ward.
Rochelle Rowlette wrote on 3 Jul 1997:
First, James Wright did have two marriages. The first was to Sarah Harriss on July 06, 1778, and the second was to Anne Ward, February 03, 1787. I believe the Wrights of Bloomery is confusing because it only mentions the first marriage - a second book by F. Edward Wright [author of "Wrights of Bloomery"] mentions the second.
James Allen Stevens <pittsborojim@earthlink.net> has the parents of James Wright as Levin Wright and wife Mary. has his death listed as Jan 1813
NOTE: the second marriage if in fact there was one could not have been 1 year after the first and still have several children attributed to that marriage.

quoted from book "FROM TIES TO TECHNOLOGY -- A HISTORY OF PIKE LUMBER
COMPANY 1853-1996" BY Ann Allen --Akron, Indiana. Printed by Thomson-Shore
Inc, 7300 West Joy Road, Dexter, Mi. 48130 : Library of Congress # 97-91801.
1997
John S. Pike had two goals in mind when he loaded his harness and saddle-
making equipment on a wagon and headed from Ohio to Indiana; to make a fresh
start in life and to establish himself as a collar maker. He succeeded at
both, despite setbacks that would have deterred lesser men. In the process,
he became an entrepreneur and the patriarch of a 6-generation lumbering
family.
Present day Pike Lumber company is not directly descended from John S.
Pike's crude sawmill, but of his legacies -- a strong sense of family and
strict standards of fairness, honesty and integrity-- form the foundation of
its existence.
"He died long before any of us were around." says Channing Utter, John S.
Pike's great-grandson and
secretary-treasurer of a company that proudly continues to bear the Pike
name. "We don't even know what he looked like, but he's always been a
presence, a person worthy of emulation."
John Schooley Pike was a role model made of stern stuff, one described by
his peers as sturdy, honest, methodical and just in all his transactions.
The son of John and Leah Schooley Pike, he was born 7-18-1813 in Richmond,
Ohio. His parents were Quakers who moved to Ohio from North Carolina. One
historian says such pioneers were drawn to what was then considered the
western wilds because they were mostly poor in the East and especially so in
the south. "They must work to live." he wrote, "but land was high in the
East and in South labor was dishonorable, and to be obliged to work with
one's own hands there was to be placed on a level with slaves."
The Pike family was not afraid of hard work and it loathed slavery. John S.
Pike pushed westward and northwestward, stopping first in 1837, in Henry
county,Indiana, where he secured land from the government.
Life in the western wilds quickly took its toll. He was widowed at 23 when
his first wife, the former Julia Deen (some sources list her as Guilema
Dean) died shortly after the birth of a son , Joseph. He then married Phoebe
James in 1839. With their son, James, the couple, possibly traveling with
some of her relatives moved to Wabash County in 1842. As one of the founding
families of New Holland, they built a house and a building for a store,
quickly learning that in the frontier there were 2 priorities: food and
shelter.
It wasn't surprising that the first business in new Holland was a sawmill.
Built by Frederick Kindley, it was powered by the waters of Rush Creek. The
pitman, the connecting rod that kept the mill in operation, was made from a
log taken from the first cabin built in Wabash.
Although John S. Pike's eventual purchase of the mill established the Pike
Name in the Hoosier hardwood lumber industry, his earliest association with
it was of a more covert nature. The owner, Mr. Kindley was an active helper
in the underground railroad. Between 1843 and 1848. he helped pilot
countless slaves from Virginia, Kentucky and other southern states through
northern Indiana. The runaways were transported from Jonesboro via New
Holland to North Manchester with the assistance of nearly all of Kindley's
neighbors, including John S. Pike.
Hostile to both slavery and professional slave hunters, the Quakers of New
Holland successfully eluded both the hunters and their local, paid
confederates. lacking roads, they traveled wooded trails by night, taking
indirect routes through a county so sparsely settled there was little danger
of meeting anyone.
One of the Quakers later recalled being pursued while helping a party of 20
slaves--16 young men and 3 women, one with a baby in her arms--safely to
North Manchester.
But they could not ensure longevity. On Jan 16, 1844, John S. Pike was again
a widower, his wife Phoebe dead at the age of 30.
Records do not indicate the cause of Phoebe James Pike's death but history
reveals the pioneer woman's life was not an easy one.
It was this lifestyle to which John S. Pike brought his third wife, Deborah
madden whom he had married on Jan 8, 1846.
Later in that year, he established a Pike precedent for tree planting by
starting a nursery that supplied much of the fruit stock used by farmers
over the surrounding area.
On March 13, 1848, the young couple purchased 9.75 acres of Land and
prepared to advance their business. As determined as her husband to create a
new life in Indiana. Deborah Pike was granted a transfer of membership to
the Mississinewa Monthly Meeting from the Springfield MM in Ohio. Life in
the frontier looked promising.
A year later, Debborah Madden Pike drowned in Rush Creek 2 days after
torrential rains forced rivers and streams out of their banks.
According to a news item in the March 13, 1849, issue of the Wabash Gazette
that was signed by acting coroner Wm. Sallee:
Cemetery records reported the boy's death in February and listed his age as
8 months and 4 days.
According to the 1884 history of Wabash County. Deborah Pike and her son,
Samuel Madden drowned. None of the accounts explain what became of John S.
Pike's first son, listed in history books as Joseph and by genealogists as
Stephen. But they leave no doubt that the man who valued family was once
again alone.
John S. Pike filled many roles in his lifetime --harness maker, store owner,
farmer, postmaster, sawmill man, tile manufacturer, orchard owner-- and
encountered many hardships, but he never gave up.
When the going got tough, he dug in his heels and kept going.
On Jan 10, 1850, he purchased 10 lots in New Holland, and later in the year,
on Sept 13, he married for the fourth time. His new wife was Lucretia Wright
Ridgway, whose first husband, Rees Ridgway. had died 4 years earlier at the
age of 39 years.
The couple, both in their late 30s were overjoyed when their first son,
Albert, was born on July 2, 1851, at New Holland. he was followed by a
second son, Irwin, and a daughter Adnah, who died in infancy.
In 1853, John S. Pike established the Pike name in the state's fledgling
lumber industry by purchasing Fred Kindley's sawmill on Rush Creek. The
same creek that had claimed the lives of his wife and child,
So successful were they that the theft of hardwood timber became a problem,
especially from the lands that remained after the Miami's' 1847 departure.
"The white man can upon our lands without shadow or right, cut and remove
our most valuable timber." Chief Meshingomesia complained through an
attorney in 1867.
Stealing Indian Timber would not have been a part of John S. Pike's
lifestyle. And while it has been said that a primary log buying problem was
a matter of satisfactory barter with the Indians since they preferred fire
water and ponies to legal tender, that, too, is doubtful. For one thing, New
Holland was a strong temperance community that until 1884 could boast that
it had never had a saloon. But casting more doubt on this story's
credibility is the fact that John S. Pike was a devout Quaker. Quakerism, a
way of life that raised up good and pushed down evil, was important to him,
its bywords, truths and sincerity became his own. He refused to bargain
because he felt that to do so implied that truth was flexible.
In 1865, he diversified his operation even more by building a horse -
powered tile factory at new Holland, the first such operation in the county
and, possibly, in the state.
Lucretia Pike died leaving John S. Pike a widower for the fourth time, 3
years later his son Albert died at the age of 40 survived by a son, 3
daughters and a brother, 2 stepsisters and his aged father.
The veteran sawmill man, by then was 78 years old. He turned his attention
to his late son's family and to his 13 year old grandson, Durward A. Pike in
particular.
By the time John S. Pike died in 1901, he had lived through the war of 1812,
a variety of Indian wars, the Civil War, and the Spanish American War. He
had buried 4 wives and as many children and had known success and failure in
the business world. But he had done something else that would outlive him
and cause a great-great grandson to say "He's always been a presence in the
company" He had carefully groomed D.A. Pike for his role as a third
generation entrepreneur.
******
When Lucretia married John Pike she had 4 children under the age of 16 years
John had already buried 3 wives and 3 children -Lucretia had buried a
husband and 2 children
-He was just 37 years of age and Lucretia was 36.
They would have 3 more children together and bury another child.
This cemetery was moved to mississinewa Memorial Cemetery in 19656 to make
way for the Resevoir.

Durward A. Pike and

Durward A. PIKE, 71, owner of the Pike Lumber Co., Akron, and his wife, Eva
Mae [PIKE], 70, were killed about 3:30 p.m. Friday in a freak automobile
accident 1 1/2 miles west of Plymouth on U.S. 30.
Marshall county authorities and state police said the Pike car apparently
went out of control, skidded off the right side of the pavement, then
lurched across to the left side into a ditch, throwing the couple onto the
highway. Next, according to reports, at least one of the pair was run over
by a hit-and-run driver who first stopped, talked with several persons at
the scene, then drove off. A description of the hit-and-run car was
broadcast and a short time later state police arrested Dr. B. J. DVORSKY,
70, Gary, who was identified as the driver. Dvorsky, accompanied by his
wife, told officials that he had "made a mistake" and that he didn't know
why he drove away. He believed the man was alread dead after he had stopped
his car, officials were told. The Gary physician pleaded guilty to charges
of leaving the scene of an accident in a Plymouth J. P. court and paid a
fine and costs totaling $36.75.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Pike died from a fractured skull but no information was
released this morning from the Marshall county coroner as to whether they
were dead before Dvorsky drove by the scene of the mishap.
Damage to the Pike car was only negligible, amounting to about $35, and it
was driven back to Plymouth.
Mr. Pike was reportedly enroute to Wanatah with a tire for one of his trucks
which had previously had a blow-out. A truck driver who was following the
Dvorsky car gave officers information about the mystery auto. The Gary man
was picked up within a half hour at the intersection of U.S. 6 and U.S. 35
near Kingsbury.
Durward Albert PIKE, son of Albert and Anna (SMALL) PIKE, was born December
5, 1878 in Wabash, Ind. He was married to Eva Mae BECK, October 18, 1898 at
Wabash. The Pikes had been residents of Akron for 23 years where he was
engaged in the lumber and sawmill business.
Previous to their residency in Akron, Mr. Pike was engaged in the lumbering
and contracting business in Florida and Wabash for a number of years. He was
a member of the Akron Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Elks Club of
Wabash and the Christian Science Church, also of Wabash.

Double Funeral held for Mr and Mrs. D.A. Pike: A double funeral service was
held here Monday afternoon for Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Pike, who were killed late
Friday afternoon in an auto accident west of Plymouth. Marshall Co.
authorities said the car apparently went out of control about a mile and a
half west of Plymouth on US Highway 30, skidded off the right side of the
pavement and then lurched across the highway into the ditch on the left
side.
Both Mr and Mrs. Pike were thrown from the car onto the pavement and it is
believed that one or both of them was run over by a car that was following
their car. Both suffered skull fractures and died immediately.
Dr. B.J. Dvorsky, 70, Gary, was driving the car right behind the PIke
automobile. It was reported that he stopped for a time then left the scene
of the accident. He was picked up by the state police and returned to
Plymouth where he pleaded guilty in a JP court to leaving the scene of the
accident and was fined $36.75 and then released. His wife was in the car
with him at the time of the accident.
Damage to the Pike car was slight, amounting to about $35.00. The Pikes were
in route to Wanatah where one of their trucks was stalled because of a tire
blowout.
The Christian Science Service was held with a reader from Wabash in charge.
Burial was made in Wabash.
Durward Albert Pike , son of Albert and Anna Small Pike, was born Dec 5,
1878 in Wabash, In. He was married to Eva Mae Beck Oct 18, 1898 at Wabash.
The Pikes had been residents of Akron for the past 23 years, and he was
engaged in the lumber and sawmill business.
Previous to their residency here, Mr. Pike was in Florida and Wabash for a
number of years. He was a member of the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Elks club at Wabash and the Christian Science Church at Wabash.
Mrs. Pike, whose maiden name was Eva Mae Beck, was born in Wabash on Feb 16,
1880. Her parents were Frank and Mary Jane Thompson Beck.
Survivors are 3 daughter; Mrs. Gwendolyn Harting of N. Manchester, Mrs.
Helen Utter of Akron, and Mrs. Virginia York of Kenton, Ohio. There are 8
grandchildren. Mr Pike is also survived by 2 sisters, Miss Myrtle Pike of
Wabash and Miss Elsie Pike of Cleveland. Mrs Pike is survived by 2 brothers
James and Hal Beck both of Wabash.
History of D.A. Pike --- D.A. Pike, born at Wabash, Indiana, in 1878, and
from a long line of Quaker ancestors, was third generation lumberman. In
those days of fine large timber, heavy logging teams, crack teamsters,
creaky log wagons, and a faithful mascot dog. In those days a string of log
wagons hauled in logs from a 10 mile radius of Wabash to the mill located
there.
With a heavy producing sawmill, one of Mr. Pike's largest customers was
Studebaker Corp. at South Bend for whom he produced many hundred carloads of
lumber for automobile frames and wooden wheel spokes. In addition, he
operated a road construction company, building the first asphalt streets in
Wabash, Huntington, and surrounding communities.
It was during the early development and opening of Florida in the early
1920's that Mr. Pike moved his family to Florida and built fine asphalt
roads, in communities along the East Coast, operated Pine mills in Central
Florida and built cinder construction blocks for the building industry.
In 1927 when the crash came in Florida, Mr. Pike returned his family to
Northern Indiana and located in Akron where the old Bill Bright sawmill was
available. Here he furnished train loads of cross and switch ties as well as
all repair lumber used by the Erie railroad Co., from Chicago to
Hoboken,N.J. For these orders he had over a dozen mills producing ties on
his cutting orders. In addition to a retail yard Mr. Pike also specialized
in producing long timbers and shipped many carloads of ship timbers and
flitches to Chris Craft Corp. at Algonac, Michigan, and to the large ship
building companies on the West coast.
Mr. Pike was dedicated to his work in the lumber business which was national
in scope. He handled his dealings with honesty and fairness to everyone. In
his role of a benefactor to many people, Mr. Pike strove hard to contribute
a fair and honest solution to all problems. He, together with Mrs. PIke,
lost his life in an automobile crash in 1950.
Today Pike Lumber co, international in scope and a fourth and fifth
generation business, and under the leadership of Mr. Pike's son-in-law,
Howard Utter, maintains Mr. Pike's business precepts with its co-workers and
customers in several countries.
When he was a young man (16-17 yr of age) he rebelled against the Quaker
religion -- and his parents sent him to school in New Jersey --memory of
John Walter York --5-21-2001
converted to Christian Scientist religion
Broke pelvis and legs, after 1947 --- cast from waist to ankles and spread
apart -- used a wire to run down inside the cast to scratch ---
D.A. was quite a character from the memories of his grandchildren and his
daughter Virginia
At one family meal -- he announced Mrs. Pike your meal is a flop ----
He was someone they looked up to --- admired and yet at times were
embarrased by ---
He had no problem speaking his mind --- regardless of who got their feelings
ruffled.

book "FROM TIES TO TECHNOLOGY -- A HISTORY OF PIKE LUMBER COMPANY
1853-1996" BY Ann Allen --Akron, Indiana. Printed by Thomson-Shore Inc,
7300 West Joy Road, Dexter, Mi. 48130 : Library of Congress # 97-91801. 1997
pages 9-22 covers the story of Durward A. Pike's life.
"There are only two SOBs in Akron and I'm both of them" D.A. Pike told
Charlie Wells as he settled into the barber's chair. "I could tell right
away you were one of them" Wells replied with a straight face.
D.A. laughed, Life was as it should be : fun and invigorating. "If you ever
met him once, you'd never forget him." says his daughter Virginia.
A bear of a man given to colorful vernacular, he had the determination of
his grandfather and the Quaker spirit of his parents.---but little of their
piety. DA did not go to church" says John York a son-in-law
He had a distinctive way of talking." Virginia York recalls. "He was always
clearing his throat"
But when he spoke everyone listened" , added John York.
Born Dec 5, 1878, at the Pike Factory south of Wabash, he was named Durward
Albert, but he went through life known simply as D.A. Pike, a man unafraid
to try anything,
He was a gambler of the first order. says John York. I don't mean at gaming
tables I mean in Business.
In the process he made and lost several fortunes. Many's the time I've heard
him say I've always managed to feed my family a champagne lifestyle on a
beer income. "Taking chances was just part of his make up."
The third generation of the Pike family to enter the lumber business, D.A.
cut his teeth at John Pike's crude mill and eventually provided the impetus
that launched today's Pike Lumber Company-- but not until he had tried many
other ventures,
But for all his distinctive characteristics, D.A. Pike was first and
foremost a businessman, a doting father and a lover of fine trees. Kent
Harting , a grandson, remembers driving past "Grandpa's Tree" in the Wawasee
area of Indiana and being told that D.A. had paid $100 to prevent its being
cut. "He said no one should cut a tree that was still viable",
On 10-18-1898, he married Eva Beck, daughter of Francis and Meacy Jane
Thompson Beck, and joined his inlaws in the operation of their harness,
saddlery, buggy, carriage, coal and wood and coke business in downtown
Wabash. Eventually, he developed a coal and wood business at his home before
establishing a sawmill of his own in 1904. He didn't know up from over about
operating a mill recalls John York but he had a knack for hiring people who
did.
As his business grew so did his family. A daughter, Gwendolyn was born on
11-29-1910 followed by a second daughter Helen born on Dec 3, 1912
But nothing prepared them for the the rains of 3-23-1913. It rained for 36
hours without interruption. When it stopped, the clean up began, and D.A.
Pike was away from home for weeks at a time as he fought to salvage his
business. Within weeks the mill was back in operation.
Again as the company grew so did his company, a third daughter, Virginia was
born on 9-12-1917.
11-2-1920 he and 2 partners formed Pike Construction co. Its object and
purpose were described as to construct streets, pikes, roads, dietches and
all similar kinds of work.
In an opportunity of a lifetime DA. took his family and headed south to
Florida. having grown up in hardwood sawmills he was unfamiliar with the
pine mills of the south but quickly opened one of his own in addition to
expanding with his construction activities in Whitfield estates,
D.A. Pike went to Florida boasting that he could write a check for a million
dollars. He lost it all in 2 years.
D.A. Pike had lost his business but none of his zest for life. Even more
importantly, he discovered the family was not broke, Eva B. Pike, always
content to leave business matters to him, had saved $3,000 from the money he
had given her from the sale of wood, Armed with this grubstake, the family
set out to find a new home, knowing there was no need to return to Wabash
where all their assets were being liquidated. We have 3 choices, D.A.,
announced to his wife and daughters. One of them was Findley, Ohio the other
has been forgotten and the third was Akron, indiana a small town north of
Wabash, where his old friend Billie Bright, operated the Akron sawmill.
As soon as we drove into Akron, we all knew this was the town for us" says
Virginia York. The streets were lined with trees that formed a graceful
arch. It was perfectly beautiful.
Less than 2 years after he moved to Akron, the man who had already lost
everything to flood, hurricane and the Florida Fever was burned out by fire
described as of a mysterious origin. The loss which was estimated at between
$5,00-$6,00 was not insured. As redoubtable as his grandfather in face of
tragedy, D.A. Pike wasnt about to give up. The same story that reported the
fire contained the news that a new mill would be open within several weeks.
Nov 21, 1929 the News reported AKRON SAW MILL RESUMES OPERATION
Then, on April 28, 1938, the headlines were again glum:
PIKE SAWMILL DESTROYED BY FIRE
for the second time in less than ten years D. A. Pike's sawmill had been
damaged by fire. Damages were estimated at $15,ooo. later that evening
another fire destroyed a brooder house and several hundred baby chicks on
his farm west of Rochester, Neither was insured.
The man imprisoned for setting the first fire had been released a short time
before, but, although both second fires were attributed to arson, charges
were never filed.
Even as he directed the clean-up and sent his orders to Howard Utter's mill,
D.A. Pike was more concerned about the imminent arrival of his first
grandchild. 3 days later, he ran through the rubble shouting, "It's a girl"
Kay Joan Utter had just been born, and he was overjoyed. The rebuilding
would come later, for the moment, he preferred to celebrate.
D.A. never rebuilt his sawmill, turning instead to full retail operations.
Eventually, he sold that business and went into a short-lived retirement
before reopening Akron Lumber Co., a business he continued to operated until
a Nov 3, 1950, accident created the final headlines of his long career.
By any account, it was a freak accident. The Pikes were taking a tire to one
of their truckers in Wanatah when their car went out of control, skidded off
the right side of the pavement, then lurched across to the left side and
into a ditch, throwing the couple onto the highway. One or both of them was
then run over by a hit and run driver. Damage to their car was less than
$20.
D.A. Pike was 71. Eva Beck Pike was 70. They were survived by 3 daughters,
Gwendolyn Harting, Helen Utter, and Virginia York, 8 grandchildren and a
firm that would carry the Pike name into the 21st century.
The Akron town park was dedicated in their honor and plaque raised in 1955
in their honor.
