See her own notes. 4. Richard Wright - living with Mary in 1850. 5. Minnie Wright - living with Zadock in 1850. 6. Zadock R. Wright - named for his mother's brother-in-law Zadock Riggs. 7. Rebecca Wright - association. 8. Aaron Burwell Wright - association. 9. James S. Wright - family tradition says his father was named Aaron. James came from Surry (proven), so voila. 11. Unknown Son born ca 1800/10, home in 1810 and 1820, but gone by 1830. No clue who he might be;

• Notes

  !NOTES:Marty Grant's 3rd Great Grand Aunt.; !NOTES:Name Mary per 1850 & 1860 census, Jim Cockerham referred to her as Nancy for some reason; !NOTES:Aaron Wright had an unidentified daughter born ca 1794/1800 with him in 1810 who was gone by 1820. Jim Cockerham (deceased) thought it might be Nancy, wife of William Cockerham. The age fits (Nancy born ca 1798). Consider this (from Jim): "According to Mrs. Mamie (Cockerham) Thompson, great-grand daughter of this couple, Nancy was a "White" pryor to her marriage, but all Whites in the area have been accounted for. It is probable that the name is "Wright", and Mrs. Thompson had in mind the White family of Richard C. White, which is her line of descent." - Direct proof would be nice, but for now I'll leave Nancy in the Wright family pending evidence one way or the other; !CENSUS:1800; !CENSUS:1810; !CENSUS:1820; !CENSUS:1830 Surry Co., NC pg 144 w/William Cockram age 30-39 (1790/1800) 100101-010001; !CENSUS:1840 Surry Co., NC pg 87 w/William Cockram age 40-49 (1790/1800) 1110001-2000001; !CENSUS:1850 Surry Co., NC North Division Marshes District # 935/935 William Cockraham, 53 Farmer $700 NC Mary, 33 <---?
