Donna, unfortunately, there were two Thomas Timothy WRIGHTs, apparently both
born in 1823 (though some census' differ). My Thomas Timothy was the child
of John and Frances (Mason) WRIGHT. The other one was the child of Benjamin
John WRIGHT and Jane BROOMHALL. I chased down both families and have
determined by a letter from Frances to her son T.T. in Henry Co., IL after
he moved there, that John and Frances were the correct parents.

[Thomas Timothy WRIGHT, b. 19 Dec 1827 Belmont Co.,OH; d. 30 Nov 1897
Jackson Co. KS m. Hulda Jane MECHEM b. 10 Jun 1833 Belmont Co.,OH die 4 Nov
1906. Had 7 children, two infants buried Fairview Cemetery, Annawan, Henry
Co.,IL. He came to Henry Co. by 1857 and went to Holton, Jackson Co.,KS in
1882. ]
