25. ARTHUR ELWOOD4 WRIGHT (DAVID W.3, WARREN2, NICHOLAS1) (Source: 1880 census.) was born 22 Jan 1874 in Delaware (Source: 1880 census.), and died 17 Sep 1949 in Millsboro, Indian River 100, Sussex, Delaware (Source: Death certificate.). He married LAVINIA CAROLINE JACKSON (Source: 1880 census.) ca. 1898 (Source: 1910 census.), daughter of ROBERT JACKSON and LYDIA WRIGHT. She was born Jan 1879 in Delaware (Source: 1880 census.), and died 1961 (Source: Tombstone.).

Notes for ARTHUR ELWOOD WRIGHT:
Mitsawokett family lineages give a death date in 1962. This cannot be correct. The 1949 death certificate is for the full name, Arthur Elwood Wright, and cites the correct parents. His wife Caroline is the informant, still living at the time. Tombstone: Arthur E Wright b1872 d1949.

One notice on Mitsawokett suggests that Elwood and Caroline raised Roy Wright, son of Thomas and Lillie Wright. That seems to be in error, since Roy was raised by Elwood's brother, William Arthur Wright and his wife Bertha.

As of 3/31/05, Mitsawokett reports list William A. Wright b1890 twice, as son of Warren and Bertha Wright and also as the son of Arthur (Warren's brother) and Caroline Wright. The census listings show him as son of Warren and Bertha, and Caroline would have been 13 at his birth.

Mitsawokett lineages include: a son Marshall, William M. in the censuses. A daughter Agnes V. (1905-ca1982) with no counterpart in the censuses for Arthur and Caroline. Her obituary mentions sister Reba and brother Hershel, David H. in the censuses. She may have been adopted by Sarah E. Jackson Hughes, sister of Caroline, though only the obituary ties her to Arthur Wright and Caroline. If correct, no reason is known for her to be adopted by Perry and Sarah Hughes at an early age.

1880 - see father's listing.
1900 not found. However, see wife's listing, she and two daughters living with her brother John Jackson.
