A good article about Elijah Wright is found on this web site: http://www.geocities.com/nancybays/badlige.htm Patty Brashear of the above website also sent me a copy of a newspaper article anouncing the death of Elijah Wright 9 Mar 1931 in Pike KY. I have some notes passed on to me by Thacker family about the marriage of Eliza Thacker to Elijah Wright. I have a copy of a court record in Wise County VA dealing with the heirs of Robert Thacker, one of which is listed as Eliza (Thacker) Wright, resident of the state of Kentucky. Confirming the fact that Eliza Thacker did marry a Wright. I have no details on the relationship of Eliza Thacker and Elijah Wright. I do not know if they had children, how long their marriage lasted, nor anything. Kind of hit a dead end on the relationship. My research on this has come from the Thacker side. I am not really a Wright researcher outside of where they have connected to my lines.

Burley Creech FRANKFORT - Burley Creech, Frankfort, passed away peacefully in the presence of his family in Frankfort on Wed. Nov. 23, 2005. After a twenty year career in data processing at Texas Instruments in Versailles, he retired in 1980 to his farm on the Kentucky River in Franklin County. His farming career brought him closer to the hills, trees, the land, and the people he loved. Having been born in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, his early formal education began in the one room school houses of Letcher and Harlan Counties. His love of literature and poetry and his keen intellect led him to Berea College where he earned a degree in English. He was a published poet and scholar of the literary arts, a U. S. soldier in WWII, an accomplished craftsman, builder and stonemason, and a loving husband of 63 years. He was the father of five sons and a mentor and role model to everyone he met. Burial will be on Line Fork in Letcher County at the family cemetery of his wife, Mary Halcomb Creech, who survives. Other survivors are Tom Creech (Mary Ellen) of North Carolina, Mike Creech (Carrie) of Lexington, Mark and Eddie Creech of Franklin County and John Creech (Jennifer) of Woodford County. Visitation will be Saturday, November 26, 2005 from 12 Noon until 3 pm at Rogers Funeral Home in Frankfort. Funeral services will begin immediately after the visitation at 3 pm. Memorial contributions are suggested to the American Heart Association. Guestbook at Legacy.com Published in the Lexington Herald-Leader on 11/26/2005. Lynda's note: Burley Creech was the s/o Mark Creech and Lola Banks. Lola Banks was the d/o Jonah Banks and Malinda Combs. Malinda Combs was the d/o John Combs and Elizabeth "Betsy" Breeding.

Surnames: BRAKE, WYNN, BORAH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FBB.2ACE/947 Message Board Post: I have been researching my family history for about 10 years and am looking for help with one of my brick walls. I am trying to find the ancestors of my 3rd Great Grandparents and their relatives. They were Martha Priscilla BRAKE and Reverend William W. WYNN. This is what I do know about this couple and their descendants. Reverend William W. WYNN was born about 1817 in Tennessee. He married Martha Priscilla BRAKE who was born in August, 1821, in Trigg County, Kentucky. She died 30 December 1905 . William died on 26 April 1897. The couple had at least 2 children: 1. Nannie Catherine “Katie” WYNN 2. William B. WYNN According to the 1880 census, both of William’s parents were born in Tennessee. Both the 1880 and 1900 censuses state that both of Martha’s parents were also born in Tennessee. William W. WYNN, wife Priscilla and son William B. were enumerated on the 1880 Census in Elizabethtown, Hardin County, Kentucky. Martha was living with her daughter Katie and her husband C.C. BORAH in Cromwell, Ohio County, Kentucky in the 1900 Census. Cromwell was my mother’s birthplace. Although I may not have the family specifically located in this county, I know from Kentucky birth and death indices that several members of either family have resided here. My Wynn family seems to have been on the move a lot. Thank you in advance for any help. My e-mail address is pigfish9@swbell.net. Debbie Kaelin
