Robert Wright's signed and noted photo-portrait was found in family belongings, probably indicating he fits in somewhere. All I know is that he was born April 16, 1840 in Norfolk, Virginia, served in the Confederate Navy on the gun-boat "Jamestown" (as 3rd Assistant Engineer), and participated in the Monitor-Merrimac battle. He later served on the Iron-clad "Richmond"; In S.C. in the torpedo fleet; and finally out of Wilmington, N.C. in "blockade running."
