In addition to the census records you listed, the 1860 Census for Pulaski County, KY, listed George Wright, age 50 and born in VA, with wife Sarah, age 54 and born in VA, and their youngest children from the 1850 Lee County, VA, Census, Luke Wright, age 13, and James Wright, age 11. George's occupation was listed as shoemaker. Immediately adjacent to George Wright was his oldest son David Wright, age 26, with wife Nancey, age 31, and children John, age 6, Margaret, age 4, and William, age 1. Also, the 1860 Census for Claiborne County, TN, listed Charles Wright immediately adjacent to the John Wright you listed and his age as 22 and born in VA, with wife Lucinda, age 19, and daughter Elizabeth, age 1. With Elender listed in John Wright's household in the 1860 Claiborne County, TN, Census, that accounts for six of the nine children of George and Sarah Wright listed in the 1850 Lee County, VA, Census. The death record of Ellen Raney was dated on July 5, 1920, in Marion County, KY, and listed her parents as George Wright and Sarah Hunphrey/Humphrey. This confirms numerous Ancestry.com family trees which list George Wright's wife as Sarah Humphrey. Those family trees also list James Wright who died in 1929 in Marion County, KY, as a son of George and Sarah Wright. However, his death record lists his father as James Wright and mother as unknown, so it is unclear how the identification was made that James was the son of George and Sarah. Some of those family trees state that George Wright was born in Culpeper County, VA, but I have not found primary documentation for that assertion. Similarly, some of those family trees state that George Wright died in 1900 in Lee County, VA, but I have not found any primary documentation for that assertion. Hope this is of some help to your research. Robert N.
