Individual Details

Rebecca WRIGHT

(3 Jan 1810 - 20 Mar 1891)



1850, Randolph Co MO, Salt Spring Twp, Household 372
John Biswell, age 47, b. KY. Rebeca, age 41, b. KY
Children all born in MO. All listed through James, born in 1849.

Gideon Wright's will in 1858 has two apparent daughters, Rebecca Biswell and "Rebecca Mayo". I wonder if there was an error in Ms. Mayo's given name - either by the lawyer writing the will, or by the clerk when copying.

1860 Census. Rebecca is listed as head of household. Gave her age as 45, b. KY. Jeremiah age 18, W. D. [David] age 16, W. A. [William] age 13 and Rebecca age 7. Apparently the infant James enumerated in 1850 did not survive.
Living next door was son John, J. B. Biswell, age 22, his wife Malvina age 17 and Delia Wright, age 13.
