About Sarah "Sally" Riley (Wright)

May or may not be the daughter of John Wright of Farquier County, Virginia, and Ann.

Supposed sister Frances also married a Riley brother and had children named accordingly (e.g. xxx Wright Riley). There's no question that Sarah was a Wright, since her children follow the same naming pattern. Birthdates align for both supposed sisters, as do places of birth.

Conclusion: it's likely that both Sarah and Frances were children of John Wright III.


Not mentioned in husband Ninian Riley's will; implies Sarah predeceased him.
