 Please help identify the people in this photo. E-mail any information regarding this family. See additional photo below. This house is located in Lincoln County, TN. Now boarded up. These two pictures are of a white two-story house that was near Red Oak. The
original owners were thought to be Louisa Josephine "Josie" Clift, who
married William "Bill" Franklin Wright. Bill Wright was a Methodist minister
and also a blacksmith.
The older lady is perhaps Bill Wright's mother, Julia, as she is listed on
the 1910 Census in the Civil District 15, Lincoln Co., TN, asJosephine's
mother-in-law. This couple had no children and she
left her house to her younger sister, Amanda "Mandy" Melvina Clift who
married Benjamin Luther Wright, who was the brother of Bill
Wright. Amanda
left the house to one of her children, perhaps either, James E , Maggie
E, of Carrie B, with whom she lived in 1910.
A sister to the Wright brothers, Henrietta, married a brother to the Clift sisters. Another sister to Josie and Mandy was Margaret Clift, who married a Park. |
