Price Wright Green Family

​Our Story

 

Our reunions began in 1946, and we are blessed that Glennie Wright, Frank and Annie Lou Price, RC and Hazel Wright, and Travis Price decided to set aside the 3rd Sunday in August to celebrate our wonderful family. Harry Truman was President during our first family reunion and we have continued the legacy while being able to see our first Black President, Barack Obama.

 

We owe our humble beginnings, both literally and figuratively, to “Gran”, “Granny Sue”, or “Aunt Sue” as she was known to friends and family. Susie Hightower was a gifted midwife and probably delivered most if not all of the ancestors listed on these pages, and it was her 75th birthday celebration that inspired the very first family gathering in Howell’s Crossroads. Since then, we have gathered in all but 2 years, and traveled as far away as Texas, Detroit, New Jersey, and D.C. — cherishing every moment spent with our beloved family.

 

When a Wright is a Price is a Green - Bringing it all together. Gran Sue’s daughter, Pauline met and married William ‘Nute’ Price and together they raised 9 children. Nute was the first born son of Rob- ert William and Jane Price whose 9 children make up the Price branch of the family tree. Nute and Pauline’s eldest son Frank Price met and married Annie Lou Wright who was the 2nd child born of Mark and Ethel (Leeks) Wright. Mark Wright was the oldest of the seven children born to Henrietta Wright in Kirks Grove, Alabama who make up the Wright branch of the family tree. Nute and Pauline’s daughter Lillie Mae Price met and married Ham Green who had also lived in Kirks Grove with his brother Rich Green fol- lowing the death of their parents. The Green branch of the family tree is made up of the descendents of Rich and Ham Green. Although always bonded together by friendship, these unions would bind the Wrights, Prices and Greens together by kinship as well.
