Hi Vicki, I am a descendant of Martha Ann (Mobley) Wright who came to Madison County, IA with her children in 1854. Born in North Carolina, her family migrated to Indiana for a number of years before coming to Iowa. Martha's husband was Simeon (Simon) Wright and he is known to be buried in Morgan County, Indiana, where he died in 1852. Martha was often called Patsy and was a school teacher. Do you have any information on these Wrights?
