Mary, A couple of additional items came up on your Wright line. On WorldConnect there is a posting by Glenda, [email protected], dated 9/5/2007 which listed Frank Westly Wright, Sr. as the son of William Thomas Wright and Sarah Frances Burgess. William Thomas Wright was born on May 23, 1841, in Augusta County, VA, married to Sarah Frances Burgess on May 30, 1867 in Augusta County, VA, and died March 30, 1907, in Augusta County, VA. The 1850 Census for Augusta County, VA, listed one William Wright of the correct age and that was William T. Wright, age 8, in the Jefferson Wright household. Jefferson Wright had the following household in that 1850 census: _Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Born_ Jefferson Wright, 30, M, Millwright, Virginia Samuel H. Wright, 13, M, Virginia John W. Wright, 10, M, Virginia William T. Wright, 8, M, Virginia Mary A. Wright, 28, F, Virginia Mary E. Wright, 6, F, Virginia Mary A. Teter, 62, F, Virginia This indicates that Jefferson Wright's wife was probably Mary (Teter) Wright. I did not find a Jefferson Wright marriage in Augusta County prior to 1850, so they were probably married in another county. Hope this is of some help to your research. Robert N.
