He married Sarah Casto, as his first wife, and later married a Flowers. Of his children, if the river story is to be credited, he had three daughters who married respectively, a White, Black and Brown. Of others, I find: A daughter who married Squire Evans, for whom the town was named. Benjamin Wright, Jr, who was the first Clerk of the County Court of Jackson County. Benjamin Jr had children: Ruenna who married Hart Rader, Dr. "Bib" Wright, of Ripley and a daughter who married Ed Butcher. Another daughter of Benjamin Wright, Sr, married Joe Bibbee. To this, another historian adds a daughter who married Robert Shively. This sketch taken from "Pioneers of Jackson County", by John House, it appears in the section "Lower Mill Creek"
