Note for: Robert Bruce Wright, ABT. 1846 - 17 JUN 1906 Index
Burial:
Place: Wright Family Cemetery on Highway 626
Individual note:
According to "Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia:"
Robert served in Coleman's Artillery, but unfortunately no details are
available concerning his Confederate Army service. In her pension
application in 1926, his widow, Rosa, said he served in Co. D. Brunswick
Reserves, which was Captain Britt's Company. In as much as the reserves
were not organized until the latter part of 1864, Robert probably served
in the artillery until discharged for some reason and came home and
enlisted in the reserves.
--------------
Both marriages conducted by Rev. Nicholas Rawlings.

As noted in the 1 September 1977 issue of the Brunswick Times-Gazette, a
large group of descendants of Confederate soldier Robert Bruce Wright
gathered at the home of Carleton Clary on Gaston Lake on Sunday, 21
August and formed a family organization.
R. Grady Moseley of Warrenton, North Carolina, a grandson of Robert Bruce
Wright, acted as a master of ceremonies. Miss Edith Moseley of Brodnax
registered the guests. Approximately 275 were present, coming from many
locales in Virginia and North Carolina. Officers were elected for the
family organization as follows: W. Page Wright of Brodnax was president;
Mrs. Margaret (-) Baird of Valentines was vice president, Miss Sandra
Wall of Brodnax became secretary, and Mrs. Hattie Ruth (-) Jones of Ebony
