JOHN WRIGHT was born about 1768. He married Harriet (last name unknown) about 1794 in Spencer Co., IN. He died, I believe Sept 25, 1820 in Spencer Co., IN and is buried in the Wright Cemetery , Huff Township .  There is a marriage license in Spencer County for a Harriet Wright & Drury Emmons dated May 17, 1821, but it is unproven that this is the same Harriett that was married to John.
