They were from Macon and Smith County, TN. They had a daughter named Sarah Catherine WRIGHT and she married one Alexander SMITH in Macon County, TN on or about 1844. In 1847 this family relocated to Wayne County Missouri area, where they had some children, one of them being Charles H. SMITH. Charles married a woman by the name of Lucinda (unknown surname). Charles and Lucinda had two children, James A SMITH and Dorthula Dalue SMITH. Dorthula married my Great, Grandfather William Franklin EADS in Wayne County, Missouri. 3rd Line: My mothers sister, (My aunt Laura ESTERLINE) married a man named George Lewis WRIGHT. His parents were Jasper Newton WRIGHT and Laura STONE. Uncle George was born 9 Nov 1915 in Arkansas, and died 27 July 2004 In Dexter, Stoddard, Missouri. Would appreciate any info on any of these three lines of the WRIGHT family. Gwen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The crime of both being murder. Readers of this paper are familiar with the circumstances. These were the first legal hangings in the central district and only once before in the Indian territory has the death penalty been carried out by order of the court. Barrett strongly maintained his innocence of the murder of John Hennessey until four days before his death when he admitted his guilt in a written statement in which he implicated two other persons living at Calvin. The woman was executed for the murder of a little seven year old child left in her charge. Her attorney twice interviewed President Roosevelt in her behalf, stating it was brutal to hang a woman. The president's reply was: "If that woman was mean enough to do a thing like that, she ought to have nerve enough to meet her punishment."

Preparations are now will under way for the execution. Plans for the scaffold have been accepted and will soon be turned over to the contractors. The ropes are now en route as are also the steel trap doors, invented and manufactured by the Pauley Jail Company, of St. Louis. The scaffold proper will be eighteen feet high and of heavy pine. It will have two traps, so that both prisoners will be dropped into eternity at the same instant. The traps will be steel. Each one has two steel plate doors, which form a small square in the center of the scaffold. The prisoner stands on these plates. The rope is fixed to the brace above, the black cap drawn down and the signal given. The hangman jerks a small lever and the steel trap, or flooring, parts in the center and falls downward, where each side is caught by a spring. The prisoner falls ten feet. The scaffold will be reached by a stairway at the north side of the structure. In case the condemned collapse, they will be strapped to boards and held in an upright position on the trap. The distasteful duty of overseeing the execution falls upon Chief Deputy Marshal F. S. Genung, who will personally supervise the executions. The hangman has not been selected, neither have his assistants. Mr. Genung has been familiarizing himself with the grewsome work at St. Louis and Washington. Ropes will be stretched around the scaffold to prevent a crush of invited spectators. Invitations will be issued to a few outside members of the press and officials. Carpenters are now completing a small building in the jail yard, which will contain two cells for the condemned. The prisoners will be confined there until the execution and a death watch will be put over them as soon as the change is made. Barrett is now the sole inhabitant of the hospital building and is closely watched. The Wright woman is confined in the female ward with other women. Charles Barrett says he is ready to die. He protests that he is innocent of the murder of old John Hennessey, and says that God has forgiven him of all sins. He still has hope of commutation, although his minister and guards have repeatedly told him that there is little or not hope. The Wright woman says she has religion and is ready to die, but she insists that the whipping she inflicted upon her child did not produce death. She, too is hopeful of a commutation to life imprisonment. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
