BIOGRAPHY: "...Alexander Wright, my great great grandfather , who was born in Ireland in 1746, was red headed, he was my grandmother Stewart's grandfather; ...there is something of interest concerning him; I have in my posission a memorial prepared by him and presented to the Pensylvania Legislature, among other things in that memorial he tells the story of his killing an Indian in the border warefare in 1776, but he does not tell that he collected $136.00 for the Indian's scalp from the colony of Pennsylvania. You have to go to the old records to find that."
