Kentucky Genealogy - Help With a Family Who Lived in Fayette/Harrison 1815-1825

Hello!

After a nice breakthrough from my family's Ancestry DNA matches in the summer of 2019, I have been studying the couple who I believe were my 4GR-grandparents, Thomas B. Wright and Mary "Polly" Bullock.

Thomas and Mary married in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1815.  This was Thomas's second marriage, as three of his daughters with his first wife married in Harrison County between 1819-1825.

Mary was the daughter of Nathaniel Bullock, who actually traveled with Daniel Boone's party when Kentucky was first settled and Boonesborough was established.  Nathaniel is even mentioned in the Draper papers on Boone.

While I have been able to track down several records on Thomas Wright from the late-1810s/early-1820s, I naturally would like to find out more on where he came from and when he died, etc.  Is anyone on here familiar with record sets in Kentucky from the early-1800s?

Thanks!

This may or may not have any relevance to your search, however the surname, area and time frame are the the same or similar.
