• Notes

  According to descendants of Orlando Allen Wright, he had a brother "Poke" Wright who lived in Utica, Licking County, Ohio. Poke could very well be a variation or nickname for James K. Wright (as he is listed in the 1850 census), who was most likely named for President James Knox Polk...and there is a J. Knox Wright in Licking County, Ohio, in 1910. CENSUS 1880 OH Licking County, Burlington Township, page 183d: J.K. & L.E. Wright, with Lydia Wright, age 72, in home. Lydia was the younger sister of Achor Wright, and daughter of Nathan & Ha nnah Worley Wright. 1900 OH Licking County, Burlington Township, page 86a: J.K. & Elizabe th E. WrightIn the 1900 census, they stated they had been married for 20 years, and that Elizabeth had given birth to 2 children, both of whom were still living. 1910 OH Licking County, Burlington Township, page5b: J. Knox & Elizabeth E. Wright
