Individual Details

Sylvanus Sr. Wright

(1806 - Sep 1874)

See 1810 census for Colchester, Delaware Co., N. Y., for James Wright who has 4 males under 10 and 1 male 10-16, also 1 female. Sylvanus was born in Delaware Co., N. Y. If this is Sylvanus's father, Sylvanus would be one of the males under 10, being about 4 years old. There is also an Alpheus Wright living in Delaware Co. with 3 males under 10; also a Jacob Wright with 3 males under 10.

See 1820 census for Nottingham Twp., Harrison Co., Ohio for James Wright, who has 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-18, and 3 males 16-26, also several females. Sylvanus could be the 10-16 year old as he was born in 1806 and would be 14. Another Nottingham Twp. resident was Jonathan Wright, but his males are under 10 years old.

See 1830 census for Nottingham Twp., Harrison Co. for Sylvenis Wright, age 20-30, and 1 female, 20-30. They were married in 1828. Also living nearby are a Jacob Wright 50-60, several children and a female 40-50, Issac Wright 20-30, Caleb Wright, 15-20???. I suspect that Jacob and Ruth Wright are Sylvanus's parents, Caleb and Issac probably brothers.
