Jennings in 1854. I recently learned, though, that her father was Thomas Anthony Wright who probably died in Conway Co., AR after 1850. Her brother James Tyrie Wright was living in Polk Co. in 1855 and Lawrence Co. (Mt. Vernon twp) in 1860 with his wife Mary and 6 children. He was killed by bushwackers in Arkansas in 1862. This particular Wright family comes from a HUGE contingent of Wrights from Bedford and Franklin Co., VA. I do know that Sampson Wright was not part of the immediate family, but I do not know if he was connected otherwise. Barbara Berry Meger
