Hello, I recently received a Probate Record on my Rev. Reuben Wright, who died in Hancock Co. in 1856. Reuben was living, at the time of death, with his daughter, Margaret & her husband, Thos B. Miller in Greenfield, IN. These Wrights were from VA originally & were active in the early days of the Methodist-Episcopal Church. On the Probate Record, there was a signature of Appraisers, Hugh Pratt & Samuel Barrett. I found Hugh Pratt in the census & see where he was also from VA & about the same age as Reuben's children. Do you know where they were from or if they were related in any way to the Wright family of Hancock, Wayne, Henry Co. IN area?
