Biography

Joseph Wright ... ^[1]

There is a discrepancy in Joseph Wright's age on the 1851 census and the 1861 census. He is listed as being older in 1851 & he got younger in 1861.

Joseph was born in 1797. He and his wife sold land on 5 Apr 1872, and he passed away before the census of 1881. His date of death is often seen listed as 31 Aug 1881. This is a different Joseph H Wright, a Union soldier, buried in Dayton National Cemetery. His place of death often shows up as Y, Somme, Picardie, France, an Ancestry autocorrect error.
