Calling the Wights & Woodworths! This is just the first of hundreds of letters that I inherited…. and I am privileged to have them in my possession. However, it takes a Wight / Woodworth family “village” to transcribe them and that is what I am asking.
The correspondence from Avery Brink Wight to Eleanor Woodworth (and a few from Eleanor to Avery) goes from 1904 (first letter above) through 1919 (so far), with the primary year of letters being written during 1906. I do have a few additional letters from others to Avery as well (including one of his sons, Clenard).
All I ask is that you take your time trying to read through these and posting so that we can get a CORRECT version of what was said. There are SOOO many to read through!
Please comment on each post and I will add the transcribed sections as I have time.
Enjoy these letters. They are for all of us who have him as an ancestor! Enjoy the view of back in time!

Hello-I am researching Lt. Col William W. Wight (1817-1893), 24th MI Infantry. Does anyone know if any of Col. Wight’s correspondence or other documents survive, and who may have them? Thanks!

Mark, if you hear or find anything, let me know!
I only have letters from Avery Brink Wight (my great-grandfather) when he served WWI in France.
The uncle and cousin I have who do gen research are John Michael and Chuck (Wight).

I will def keep an eye out…. I don’t research every week but I’m focusing on the Wights for now. I just spent 3 days in the Medfield MA area where the Wights “began” on the US side. 🙂

I had another thought. Have you reached out to the Michigan area Historical Society and Archives? I was successful in finding some things on the earlier gen of Wights who were in Dedham/Medfield, MA.
