    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FBB.2ACE/492.2.1 Message Board Post: I have the following sources on Elijah Wright, besides the marriage that is noted in this message thread: CENSUS: 1870 Letcher County Kentucky Census, P. 366B. Name Elijah, age 7, b. KY. 1900 Franklin County Kentucky Census, Kentucky State Penitentiary, District 69, P. 13A. Name Elijah Wright, age 32, birth May 1868, b. KY, married, inmate. 1910 Richmond City Virginia Census, Virginia Penitentiary, District 79, P. 13A. Name Elijah Wright, age 46, b. KY, 2nd Marriage, married 18 years, prisoner. 1920 Goochland County Virginia Census, Virginia State Farm Prison, District 22, P. 12B. Name Elijah Wright, age 58, b. KY, inmate. 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.
