Alexander Wright was born 1820-30 in Penn., likely died before 1870 in Ill. His wife Matilda Jones Wright was also born in Penn. Their children: Davis Wright, b. abt. 1842 Adeline wright, b. abt. 1844 (married Lee Matthews) William Wright, b. abt. 1846 in Ohio Emma Wright, b. abt. 1850 in Penn., d. aft. 1880 in Lewis Co.,Missouri; married John Leslie 1872 in Brown Co., Ill. (my gggrandparents) John Wright, b. abt. 1852 in Ill. This info comes from Brown Co., Ill. 1870 census and Lewis Co., Mo. 1880 census and Emma Wright Leslie's obituary.
