Note: 1820 census foud two Thomas Wright's in Harrison Co., Indiana (none in Owen county) one is obviously not him by ages listed for him and children (2 boys under 10, 2 under 16, 2 under 26, 2 girls 16-26, one -45, and himself over 45) the other is most likely him given dates of children: Thomas Wright (engaged in Agriculture) 2 males under 10 (probably Israel and William) 1 male 26-45 (Thomas) 1 female 26-45 (Anna) should note, that on the same census page, in fact the three names directly above his are as follows: George Wright, Charles English, Robert Wright (are some other English's on page, but no other Wrights) George Wright (engaged in Agriculture) 1 male 16-26 1 male over 45 (George) 1 female 16-26 1 female over 45 (wife) Robert Wright (engaged in Agriculture) 2 males under 10 1 male 10-16 1 male 26-45 (robert) 1 female under 10 1 female 10-16 1 female 26-45 from the ages given, I can guess that Robert might have been Thomas's brother, and George possibly his father? 1830 census for Owen Co., Indiana Thomas Wright 4 males under age 5 1 male 5-10 2 males 10-15 1 male 30-40 (Thomas would be abt 35) 1 female under 5 1 female 5-10 1 female 20-30 couldn't find robert or george in this census other lights in owen county are: Abner Light and Hugh Light Hugh Light and wife both 20-30 Abner Light 1 male under 5 1 male 5-10 2 males 10-15 1 male 30-40 (Abner) 1 female under 5 1 female 5-10 1 female 10-15 1 female 30-40 (wife) 1840 census? 1850 census Crawford Co., Missouri (ancestry reads it wrights) Thomas Wright 55 farmer bp Kentucky A Wright 55 bp S.

Thomas Jefferson Wright Birth: 26 Aug 1795 Covington, Kentonvale, Kenton, Ky(family search source) or Birth: 24 JUN 1796 in South Carolina (rootsweb tree) Death: 18 Jun 1868 Spanaway, Pierce, Wa Burial: Jun 1868 Old Settlers Cem, Lakewood, Pierce, Wa Marriage 1 Anna (Annie) Light b: 24 JUN 1798 in Pendleton Co, SC (rootsweb tree) or b: 24 June 1795 South Carolina (family search source) Death: 14 Feb 1882 , Pierce, Wa Burial: Pioneer Cem, Gravely Lake Married: 18 JAN 1814 in Harrison Co, IN (rootsweb tree) or 9 Jan 1814 Corydon, Harrison, Indiana (family search source) Children : (rootsweb tree) Iseral Wright b: 16 FEB 1815 in Harrison Co, IN William Riley Wright b: 1817 in Indiana Hugh Wright b: 1819 in Indiana Mary Polly Wright b: 1820 in Kentucky Nancy Wright b. 1833 Indiana Elizabeth Wright b: 1821 in Harrison Co, IN Dublin John Wright James Wright Byrd S.

Abt 1834 Indiana Mary "Polly" WRIGHT Born: 1835 Indiana Hugh WRIGHT B. Abt. 1836 Indiana As for William R. Wright Sabrina's records indicate name: William Roland Wright Rootsweb source says William Riley Family search source says William R. Sabrina's records indicate wife's name to be Lydia Rose Cook (though Cook may have been from a wd marriage) Rootsweb source says Lydia Rose Snow Familysearch source says Lydia Snow rootsweb source also has death year and place matching mine for William Wright i am recording his family information, though i have no proof of the connection. pretty good coincidences though. Since William's father's bp is listed as KY in 1880 census will use family search data for bp etc. Still unsure what to do about Lydia the birthplace of KY is on his tombstone in Washington genforum posting: "My ggg-grandfather was Thomas Jefferson Wright b. 26 Aug 1795 KY. No one in the family has found any parents or siblings for him. In my grandmother's old papers, there is a note that Thomas's family came from Culpepper Co., VA - near the courthouse where the battle was fought." "on WorldConnect there is a listing of Morgan Wright, son of Thomas Wright and Ann Morgan Wright, who was born in 1755 at Culpeper County, Virginia, and married Elizabeth Threlkeld, and died in 1833 in Washington County, Kentucky. Morgan and Elizabeth had among other children a Thomas Wright, born in March 1796 in Culpeper County, Virginia" Sabrina Note: this probably not him, as rootsweb has Thomas Wright son of Morgan and Elizabeth Threlkeld marrying a Theodocia SIMMS b: ABT 1800, Married: 3 DEC 1821 in Washington Co., KY possible 1840 census Highland, vermillion co., Indiana (2 counties NW of Owen, and just east of Edgar co., Illinois (where 2 sons married) Thos Wright 2 males under 5 (James is prob under 5) 2 males 5-10 (John is 8, ben is abt 10) 1 male 20-30 (william would be 21, and Israel was married) 1 male 40-50 (thomas would be 45) 1 female 5-10 2 females 20-30 (Mary and elizabeth are both abt 20) byrd would be abt 15? and where is Anna? kenton ky in 1795 was in Campbell co
