Query 022

WRIGHT

I would like to know the name and cemetery where the wife of Banks WRIGHT is buried. Banks Wright is listed in the 1880 Howard County census as a widower. He had a son Samuel W. Wright born in Arkansas in December 1876 so his wife must have died in the late 1870s. I do know know the wife's first name but suspect she was born between 1840 and 1855 and so died between 1876 and 1880. If anyone knows of any Wright women buried in Howard County with birth and death dates fitting the above clues I would appreciate hearing from you.
