What the source supports
That Johnetta Wright of Wadesville was named in 1923 as a daughter of George H. Wright.
Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The July item prints her given name "JJohnetta" and gives the elder George Wright's middle initial as "W." Neither her father nor her half-brother has a record here, so no kinship record is made.
