WRIGHT, BARNES, SINGLETON. By 1890 Elbert Lewis WRIGHT was married 1st to: Mary E. before the Civil War. The only children I know about are: Abbie O. WRIGHT b. 1863/64, and Bettie D. WRIGHT b. 1870/1871 found on the 1880 TX Fed Census. Mary E. died in 1884 [where buried?] and Edgar married Maggie SINGLETON. The only child I have record of is: Edgar Floyd WRIGHT b. 4 Dec 1890 in Simms who married Martha Annie BARNES in 1910 in Bowie Co. They lived their life in Simms and had a family of 9 children, 7 of whom survived. -- I am interested in the years before 1913 on this family. The LOST CHILDREN of Elbert Lewis Wright and his FIRST WIFE, Mary E. (I understand they are still alive, 1999, in Simms.) Where they are all buried, obituaries, marriages, dates, dates, dates... thank you doni.
Marie JOHNSON m. David Edgar Wright and died in childbirth on 17 Sep 1937. She is buried along with her infant dau. in Sand Hill Cem. Records list child as "Wright, Infant". I want her family to know that she is not forgotten by the children of David's 2nd marriage. David went on to have a successful career in the army - retired as a major, buried at Ft. Sam Houston.
