Notes
a. Note:   RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED
 Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated November 19, 2020
  Joseph J. B. Wright is my paternal third great uncle, which is via common ancestry with Joseph H. Wright and Jenneffer Downs Bennett. Joseph was initially identified in the census living with his parents. Joseph is not listed as a survivor in the 1904 obituary of his mother.
  Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent of Joseph J. B. Wright is sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis begins with the census records, which show him living with his parents. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below.
