I know very little about Columbus Wright....I think that he had a daughter Mary E b 1872 ...if that is the case, he married someone before Mary Boswell....the Boswell family is connected to the Matthews family (which I am connected Mary Boswell mother was Tabitha Matthews, sister to Amy Matthews Mitchell).... (Mary Alice Boswell, (I think??) married 2nd 26 Jan 1880 Madison Co MO to Jesse Wilcox Nifong...but that has to be confirmed....I think she was a school teacher) John Matthew mentions a daughter Amy MITCHELL in his will.....I have never proven who exactly her husband is...I thought it might be William M Mitchell Jr. (but now I am not sure if he married Margaret Churchman) a Robert S Mitchell m Eleanor Matthews 13 Nov 1848 Madison Co MO (can't identify either person) **** in records at death of old William Mitchell in 1853, a receipt from Ancil Matthews (who was Amy's brother) to William M Mitchell for $4.00 for his coffin ***** This little item to me suggests a very close relationship too!!! If I am not mistaken William Mitchell found 1830 Madison Co MO p342... one age 70-80, one 40-50; two 10-15; 1 15-20...with 2 females under 5; 1 female 30-40 and one slave.........not sure about 1840 census. I am as lost as everyone else regarding what happened to Amy Mitchell...and specifics. (I would not be surprised if their were MORE relations to old William Mitchell and John Matthews b ca 1771).... John Matthews is my 4thGG as his dau Elizabeth m John Sinclair Jr. Elizabeth was step sister to Amy Matthews MITCHELL. Clark
