"History of First Settlers of Cow Run" by W.M. King:
Joshua Wright and Isabel Wright, his wife. Their children: Lillie, Marget, Annie, Emma, Lizie, Thad, Charles and John.
Lillie married Tod Pretty, they had one girl. Marget married Rev. Norman. Annie married Finley Sayre, they had six boys and one girl. Emma married Ruben Smith, they had one girl. After this child was born, they separated and Emma married a Mr. Palsey and went to Pittsburgh to live. Charles married Cary Palsey and lived on the Wright farm for some time.
The farm was sold and all the family left Cow Run and I have no history of them after they were gone. I want to say the Wright family were a good Christian family. Mr. Wright had a new top buggy -- the first one I ever saw.
