Tn. The Wright Cemetery is the family cemetery of Jacob Wright born 1774. This property was given to various family members for gravesites. The cemetery was started at least before 1817 because that is the year that my ggggrandfather was buried. Wright Cemetery is located 1 and 1/2 miles SW of Boonshill on south side of Hwy #64 in McBurg, in Lincoln County Tennessee. Per ggranddaughter: Wanda Wright Diomedes 1)Wright Anna Trantham born: 5 4 1831 died: 7 1 1910 (The inscription from what I can make out says: "Annie wife of J.H. Wright") Per Great Granddaughter, Wanda Diomedes : The J.H. Wright is James "Harvey" Wright. The date of Birth is actually 1834 but headstone is old and you can't tell that part of the 4 is missing to make it look like it's a one instead of a four. Per ggranddaughter: Wanda Wright Diomedes 2.Wright J.H. born: 11 28 1812 died:11 22 1898 (Inscription: "J.H.

Per gggranddaughter: Wanda Wright Diomedes 4.Wright Nancy Agnes McMillen/McMullen 11 3 1778 6 30 1840 (Inscription: "BORN IN IRELAND NANCY WRIGHT Nov. 3,1778 June 30, 1840") Back of headstone which is made like a monument out of marble: (Inscription: "IN MEMORY OF) faded then (Inscription: WHO WAS BORN") fades out again.
