Lewis Thomas Wright was the son of Thomas Wright & Phoebe Rogers. In 1896, he married Harriet Eva Alley, the daughter of John Swade Alley & Mary Eva Potter.

I couldn't find an obit for either of them but I did find a story where they went to Washington for the inauguration of Roosevelt in 1937.  

Lewis and Hattie had 10 children! Lewis Jr, Willard, Susan, John, Mary, Thomas, Nehemiah, George, Robert, and Caroline.
