Source notes
- The biobraphical sketch from the 1895 History of Butler County, p. 340, of David Wright does not list Eleanor Wright as his daughter, although it does say that his homestead is now the residence of Eleanor & Robert St. Clair. Eleanor was in fact his daughter, as is clarified in the second entry re. David Wrighton p. 341 .
