    1. A WRIGHT PUZZLE
    2. Bette Nelson
    3. I'm wondering if this Polly "Wright" was Polly Lindsey? Elisha Wright married Polly Lindsey 17 Apr 1838 - and is the only Wright that is feasible to be the father of Thursey and the other children.. However, given the number of marriages that are missing, it is also possible that this is was someone else! From the 1850 Grayson Census, it appears that whoever this Polly is that her husband had been married before Polly as there was at least one "son" that was too old to be Polly's children. Their was one other person enumerated with this family in 1850 - Stephen age 25 - laborer. But if Elisha Wright was the father, and was married before, I would presume that William was also from the prior marriage. More questions. And I can't see the family in the 1860 census. And only Thursa and her spouse in the 1870! As always, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Bette Descendants of Polly Generation No. 1 1. POLLY1 was born 1815 in Grayson Co., VA.
