Biography

US Black Heritage Project
Eaton Wright is a part of US Black heritage.

According to the 1910 US Census[1], Eaton was born in 1844. On that same census, he is listed as a Black, widowed famer in Dillard (Monroe County), Georgia. He was enslaved by the Samuel L Rutherford family in or near Crawford Co., GA. He is listed, by name, in the last will and testament of Samuel L Rutherford, March 1865:

"To my dearest baby Mary Jones or Molly (Rutherford), I give & bequeath old Kearney; Mammy or Eliza, his wife; Eaton, their son, & Kearney, their son, & Alice & Margaret or Gransy Peg, their youngest daughters & Mammy's increase. Also, Laura, her nurse and Dora, her child, & Laura's increase."

On the 1924 death certificate of his son, C. Eatonton Wright, his wife is listed as Della Jones from Wilmington. NC[2].

He is buried next to Della Wright in the Forsyth City Cemetery[3]
