  • Notes 
    • **********
      «i»He was born in Connecticut in 1793 . His father died of a massive
      stroke or burst blood vessel in the brain in December 1799 with his
      mother dying in 1803. It is unknown who took care of him, but it
      was likely the Stephen Webster family as they reportedly took care
      of his brother, Jonathan, who also was a minor at the time of his
      parents' deaths.

      His daughter Melinda married Elijah M. Haines. His (Haines') biographical
      sketch in "Portrait and Biographical Album of Lake County, Illinois"
      Lake City Publishing Co.includes "....daughter of Amos Wright , a
      branch of the family that gave to the commonwealth of New York her
      most eminent Senator, Silas Wright."«/i»
