BRIGHT Family Puzzle
- These pages represent the hard work of many researchers who desire to document the ancestors and descendants of the three BRIGHT brothers who came to North Carolina from the neighboring colony/state of Virginia-- John, Henry and Richard --and especially Captain Simon Bright of Dobbs County, NC. There are many North Carolina counties involved, but especially Dobbs, Lenoir, Greene, Currituck, Craven, Bath, Hyde and Beaufort.
- The traditional naming pattern of the era adds to the confusion of these family lines. Because of Burned Counties in NC , we are trying to locate and post bible records, deed, church records, court records, etc. to help verify the different lines.
- The genealogy of this family needs straightening out, especially when it comes to Capt. Simon Bright's descendants and ancestors. There is much misinformation out there including memorial plaques that incorrectly state the linages. There are also published works that contain misinformation based on verbal recollections and not primary sources.
