Joseph Wright Born 1 June 1785 in Bedford County, Virginia. Married Agnes Brown 26 June 1805 in Bedford. Agnes Born 10 June1788 Death 19 Jan. 1842 in Ralls County Mo. Wright Cemetery. One Child I know Elizabeth Wright b. 1806 in Kentucky. I think there was sons Charles Martin Wright, William S Wright, James Weston Wright, and Susan Ellen Wright. Susan Married John Starling Morrow. Of course this could be another part of family, they seemed to name there kids after brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. Looking for any family. Thanks Cindy Wright Conn
