Notes:
1850 Census, Montgomery Co., NC (M432 Roll
637), dwelling #448, head of household, estate worth $100. Enumerated with
Celia (22), James S.(or L.? 20), and Nancy (22).
Enumerated right after Edward A. Wright (dwelling #447).
This
particular Census entry is the primary circumstantial evidence that E. A. is
the son of Willis Wright.
1860 Census, enumerated with James L. Wright.
From Michael Wright, we
obtained a copy of a Montgomery County, NC deed transfer entered 13 April 1850
and recorded in July 1850. Mary Wright sold an 85 acre parcel of land to a
Lockey Simmons in three payments. The parcel is on Cidar Creek and
borders land owned by an Osborn (Ausburn?) Wright, and Edward
Munn. Signed with "her mark." The deed was witnessed by S. A. Wright
(Sampson Wright?) and E. A. Wright.
There were also two
deeds
between Lockey Simmons and Edward Ausburn
Wright, and her land is mentioned bordering E. A.'s.
