ISAAC WRIGHT. The subject of this sketch, a native of Virginia, born March 18, 1808. His parents were Francis and Agnes Wright, who came with their family to this county in 18.S6. The land was covered with a heavy growth of timber, and the Wrights, like others, were necessarily exposed to hard labor. They cut wheat with sickles for many years, and thrashed it with fails. Mr. Wright first married Miss Miranda Butts, who bore him one child, Sarah, who afterward died. He again married Miss Sarah Grady, by whom he had seven children, viz., Margaret, Frank, Patrick, Jacob, James, John and Isaac. Mr. Wright is again left a widower. He owns 160 acres of valuable land near Winchester, on the bottoms of White River.
