  • Notes 
    • The following is from the Pioneer Families of Missouri book written in 1876, which is not always accurate:
      WRIGHT, William Wright was a native of England. He had a son named John, who was Tobacco Inspector at Fredericksburg, VA., at a very early date. The latter married ROSAMOND GRANT, daughter of CAPTAIN JOHN GRANT, by whom he had Margaret, Rosamond, Elizabeth, William, John and Winfield. The latter married JUDITH TINSLEY, daughter of EDWARD TINSLEY, of Madison Co., VA., and settled in Franklin Co., KY., in 1817. They had William, Henry T., James G., Rosamond, Elizabeth, Margaret P., Judith and Polly. Henry T. married REBECCA TINSLEY, of KY., and settled in Callaway Co., MO. in 1837. They had Henry, Jr., Winfield, Charles and George. After the death of his wife, Mr. Wright married PEACHEY TINSLEY, and they had 1 child, a daughter. Mr. Wright was married the third time to ELIZABETH JAMESON. James G., son of Winfield Wright, married REBECCA HAWKINS, of Franklin Co., KY., and settled in Audrain Co., MO. Elizabeth married REUBEN OVERTON, who settled in Callaway Co. in 1824. Margaret P. married WILLIAM R. MARTIN, who settled in Callaway Co. in 1827. Judith T. married SAMUEL P. MARTIN, who settled in Callaway Co. in 1824.

      note posted to end of transcribed book:
      Wright, William:
      I came across your site, and on one page where you list families, under William Wright you say that he was from England which is incorrect. William Wright was the son of Richard Wright who died Oct. 10, 1700 Stafford Co., VA at the home of Capt. Richard Fossaker. He left his two young boys orphans. He had Mary Ellis take his youngest son William and Gilbert Alsop to take his oldest son Richard. I have copies of the Will and deposition.
      William Wright was born abt. 1699 in Middlesex Co.. Va and died Oct. 15, 1789 Fredricksburg Va. His father was Richard Wright b: July 5, 1664 Bolton on Swaile, England and d:Oct. 10, 1700 Stafford Co. VA. Richard Wright's father was George Wright b: abt. 1627 Bolton on Swaile, England, and d: June 7, 1674 Bolton on Swaile, England. George married Beatrice Maulevere. George was the older brother of the "famous" Richard Whittington Wright who married Anne Mottrom. George stayed in England and inherited his father's estate.
      Now William was married twice first to a Rosamond (?) mother of all of his children, then married after the death of his first wife to Mary Brent (no issue), his death was documented in Fredricksburg, VA newspapers. His oldest son John Wright married Rosamond Grand (daughter of Capt. John Grant). I have alot more information if you would like to see it.
