<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 45645, member: 44"]What a scream. A MD with a highly advanced education for that day and age, contracting VD!! Walter was married 2x. His first wife died in 1893. His 2nd wife lived to 1955. Doesn't appear the 2nd wife contracted VD. I finally found that Walter indeed had brothers named Frank and Austin. Their parents were Asa and Polly Chase Wright of Hanover. The parents were married in 1830 and had 4 children. 1 daughter Augusta who married a Tenny, Austin, B. Frank, and Walter. Mom & Pop are buried in the same cemetery with their daughter's family in Hanover, NH.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowwww one may wonder why I did more research on this family. I am deep into genealogy research including hosting several genealgy websites concentrating in Connecticut and Massachusetts. When I saw an obit on Walter from Bowdoin College listing his parents, it caught my interest because of his father's name and their location. I was well aware of Wrights in Ashford, Windham Co. CT in the 1700s where several of my ancestry resided. Some of these Wrights had the given name Asa and some migrated north to VT and NH soon after the Revolution. Many of the migrating men were given land in those areas inlieu of money for fighting in the Revolution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure enough found an Asa Wright and Huldah Knapp Wright who migrated from Ashford, CT to Hanover, NH. They were the grandparents of Walter, Austin and Frank. I may well have a genealogy link to these Wrights - not a direct line, but possibly by an ancestor's sibling marriage. Hopefully the ones in CT were a bit more careful in their extra curriculum activity!</p><p><br /></p><p>The following are a few online sources to the above info.
