* The biobraphical sketch from the 1895 History of Butler County of Archibald St. Clair says that son Robert St. Clair & wife Eleanor Wright eventually reside on the old Wright homestead, yet the following David Wright biography, which says he settled where Robert St. Clair now lives, does not list Eleanor among his children. Either this is an omission, or she was related in some other way.
