  Notes	!MARRIAGE: Due to the 9 year gap in children between Richard (c1818) and Deborah (c1827) it is suspected that perhaps there was a wife prior to Patience Franklin. However, that may not be the case. Perhaps no children were born in that period, or some were but died young;

• Notes

  !NOTES:Thanks to Bobbie Pierce for most of the birth and death dates and lots of other information that I have on this family. !NOTES:Is there any proof that Richard Murphy Wright is a son of Daniel S. Wright? His name shows he was obviously named for Richard Murphy, Daniel's grandfather, but it doesn't prove that Daniel was his father, though I don't doubt that Richard belongs to Daniel; !CENSUS:1820 Surry Co, NC pg 774 w/Aaron WRIGHT age 0-9 (1810/20); !CENSUS:1830 Surry Co, NC pg 102 w/Daniel S.
