The Rev. Samuel Paschal Wright Bible was published by the American Bible

(Naomi) Mangum to Dr. T. Bradford Willis of Waco. The Samuel P. Wright Bible 
has the following name stamped on the inside front cover, "Sam. P. Wright".

I found the following information in his memorial/obituary in the November 
1911 Journal of the Central Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, South.
 
Rev. Samuel Paschal Wright was born in Montgomery County, Tennessee on 
February 1, 1838 and died in Pomona, California on March 6, 1911.  He received 
his education at Cumberland University.
 
Samuel P. Wright was ordained Deacon in 1866 and Elder in 1868 in the 
Methodist Church.  In 1870, he came to Texas, later serving as the president 
of the Waco Female College.  He was also a curator of Southwestern University, 
and a delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Church.
 
On February 1, 1860, he married Mary Wyatt Harris (1838-1915).  They had nine 
children.  Their portraits may be found at the Earle-Napier-Kinnard house 
museum in Waco, Texas.
