• Notes

  Silas S. Wright was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. he was eleven years old when he lost his father and became "father " in his family. At age 22, with his mother and brothers and sisters, he went west to Mahaska County, Richland Township, Iowawa. We find them in the 1856 Iowa Census. The family listed next in the census was the Melker J. Martin family, whose daughter Silas Wright married. Silas Wright and his wife were in the 1860 census in Bates County Boone Township, Missouri. Here, their first child Ella was born. They moved to Fulton, Kansas in BHourbon County about 1862, where Mary Ann's parents had moved in 1858. It was here the other children were born. Somewhere around the turn of the century, Silas and Mary Ann Wright moved from their farm in Fulton to near Columbus, Kansas, Cherokee County. They are both buried in Park Cemetery, Kansas City, Missouri. All of this information from Silas Clark to Virginia Green Hassenflu is supplied by Virginia Green Hassenflu. I wonder of Len, father of Orville and Wilbur Wright was one of the boys that came to Iowa. My Grandfather, who was raised in Mahaska County, Iowa, played with Wilbur and Orville Wright when they were children. Herman William Tripp--Remembering......
