WHITE, John White, of KY., was a soldier
in the Rev. war. He had a son named Archibald, who married a MISS
SIMPSON, and they were the parents of Morgan B. and Archibald
White, Jr. Morgan B. settled in Callaway Co. in 1826, and became
a prominent and influential citizen. He has always been a staunch
Democrat, basing his political faith upon the true Jeffersonian
doctrine. He represented Callaway Co. in the Legislature in 1834-5,
with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents.
He is now past the age at which men participate in public affairs,
but he still feels an interest in the success of his beloved party,
and the supremacy of honesty and good government. He reads a great
deal, and keeps himself thoroughly posted in the events of the
day. "Uncle Morgan's" opinions and ideas still carry
weight in Callaway Co., where he is respected as one of the few
remaining actors in a better and more prosperous era of our government.
The white haired pioneer is always given a prominent position
at public meetings and office-seekers can do no better than declare,
as they point to him, that they will endeavor to perform their
duty as faithfully and disinterestedly as he and his associates
did. Mr. White tells an amusing anecdote on himself that occurred
during his stay in Jefferson City, while attending the session
of the legislature of which he was a member. He boarded at a private
house kept by a widow lady, who put hi to sleep in a bed surrounded
by heavy damask curtains. It was the first bed of the kind that
he had ever seen, and for his life, he could not tell how to get
into the thing. He finally concluded that he would have to go
in over the top; so drawing a table and chair to the side of the
bed, he mounted on to them, and rolled over, expecting to land
on a nice, soft bed; but instead of that he was caught by the
floor, and, like the Irishman, was considerably hurt by the "sudden
stopping." He learned the trick, however, and after that
had no difficulty about getting into his bed. Mr. White was married
first to MARY ANN MARMADUKE, of Shelby Co., KY., by whom he had
12 children. His 2nd wife was a widow lady named HUGHES, whose
maiden name was MCMURTRY. His children are intelligent and cultivated,
and his sons are among the most enterprising men of the counties
in which they live. One of his sons, Archibald H. White, is an
ex-sheriff of Montgomery Co., and an influential citizen. Another
of his sons, Morgan B. Jr., is a large stock raiser and successful
farmer of Montgomery Co. He also takes a great deal of interest
in politics, and exercises considerable influence in his county.
Archibald White, brother of Morgan B., Sr., settled in Callaway
Co. in 1832, and died 2 years later, leaving a widow and 1 child.
WRIGHT, William Wright was a native
of England. He had a son named John, who was Tobacco Inspector
at Fredericksburg, VA., at a very early date. The latter married

in Callaway Co. William, his eldest son married POLLY RIVES, who,
after an affliction of 7 years, went entirely blind. Charles R.,
now living, was a celebrated auger maker in his younger days.
His augers were of such a superior quality that he could not make
them fast enough to supply the demand. He married JANE MCCORMACK,
and they had Nancy, John, Lucy Martha, Charles W., James R., Margaret
G., Mary E., Montezuma, and George W.
WILKERSON, Moses and William Wilkerson
were sons of Moses Wilkerson of England, who came to America and
settled in VA., before the Rev. war. He died some years afterward,
and his widow married again. After their mother's 2nd marriage,
Moses and William went to KY., and lived for some time in the
fort at Boonesborough. Moses married ALETHA ANDERSON, who had
lived in the fort with her parents 3 years, and was there when
JEMIMA BOONE and the CALLAWAY girls were captured by the Indians.
They afterward settled in Montgomery Co., KY., and raised 9 children,
whose names were John, William, Abraham, Henry, Hiram, Haley,
Nimrod, Cenia and Sally. Mrs. Wilkerson died in KY. in 1833. William,
the 2nd son, received a limited education, and after his father's
death, he was appointed executor of the estate and guardian for
his brothers and sisters. The duties thus imposed upon him gave
him a practical knowledge of business affairs, and the people
of his county had so much confidence in his ability and integrity
that they elected him a member of the county court while he was
quite young. The court at that time was composed of 12 men, selected
with reference to their ability and experience, and it was no
small honor to be so chosen. Mr. Wilkerson enlisted in the war
of 1812, and was chosen First Lieutenant of CAPTAIN GEORGE MCARTHUR's
company. They belonged to that portion of the army which operated
in Canada, and Lieutenant W. assisted in capturing a fort in which
several hundred of the enemy were garrisoned. After the close
of the war he was elected Colonel of militia, and was subsequently
chosen to represent his county in the legislature. In 1830 he
came to MO. and settled in Callaway Co. In 1836 he was elected
a member of the legislature, and afterward represented the county
in the same body during a portion of two terms. He wa also presiding
justice of the county court for several years. He died in 1845;
his wife died in 1839. Her maiden name was ELIZABETH CLARK, daughter
of JAMES CLARK, who came from Ireland, married a MISS ARBUCKLE
and settled in Greenbriar Co., VA. Colonel Wilkerson was a high-toned,
honorable gentleman; moral and upright, but not a member of any
church. He was highly respected in his community, and his counsel
and advice were sought by all, which he gave without ostentation
or display, and always for what he considered best. He was modest
and unassuming in his manners and possessed an excellent mind,
which he diligently cultivated. He was temperate in his habits,
and never used profane language. in his family circle he was kind
and indulgent, but firm in requiring his children to do what was
right. He was an honest politician and no competitor could ever
say that he took an unfair advantage of him. The names of his
children were Harrison, Archilles (a physician), William H., Narcissa,
Martha C., Elizabeth and Emily. WREN, James Wren of Fairfax Co.,
VA., married SARAH M. LEE, daughter of HANCOCK LEE, and settled
in Callaway Co., MO. in 1833. His children were Sarah E., James,

to a MISS BARTLEY, and 2nd to PEGGY TURMAN. Mr. Winn settled first

and Douglass. The latter married ELIZABETH RAWLINGS, and settled
in Callaway Co. in 1838. His children were Mary, Myrtella, John,

and was known as the rail splitter of Callaway Co.

Samuel, Elizabeth, Permelia, Patsey, Charlotte and Harriet.
WILLIAMS, William Williams was
a native of England, and was a soldier in the British army during
the American revolution. He became so well pleased with the Americans
and their country from what he saw of them during his soldier
days, that when the war was over, he remained, and settled in
Va., where he soon after married SALLY MARTIN. Their children
were William, Asa T., Peyton, Robert, Richard, John, Joseph, Polly,
Lucy, Sally and Elizabeth, all of whom settled in Callaway Co.,
MO. from 1814 to 1824. Asa T. settled at Cotesandessein in the
spring of 1815, and was the first American settler in that part
of the county. He afterward married ELIZABETH LANGLEY, and they
had John, Isaac, Henry B., Peyton T., Robert B., James M., Asa

of JACOB ZUMWALT, who settled in Callaway Co. in 1817.
YATES, Benjamin Yates was born in
Va in 1767, and died in Shelby Co., KY., in 1558 (that's what
it says! I'd guess it's 1855 or 1858). He was married twice; first
to MARGARET FORD, of KY., by whom he had John, Edith, Gilson,
Mary, Nancy, Milton, Benjamin F., Jeptha and William F. His second
wife was a MISS SULLIVAN, of KY; they had no children. John Yates
came to MO. in 1816, when he was a young man, and began to learn
the tailor's trade with DANIEL COLGIN, of St. Charles. But he
soon grew tired of that business, and obtained a situation as
porter in Collier & Co.'s store at $12 per month. He had been
in the store only a few days when MR. GEORGE COLLIER wanted a
legal paper drawn up for some purpose, and made inquiry among
his employees to know if any of them could do it. Mr. Yates replied
that he could, and the matter was entrusted to him. He performed
the work so well and neatly that Mr. Collier was both pleased
and surprised, and finding upon conversing with him that he was
an educated man, he employed him as bookkeeper, at good wages.
A few years later he sent a stock of goods to Elizabeth, the first
county seat of Callaway Co., and sent Mr. Yates with it as superintendent.
The goods were opened in the house of MR. HENRY BRITE, which was
also used as a tavern, court house, clerk's office, etc. This
was the first store in Callaway co., except one at Cotesansdessein,
owned by DANIEL COLGIN, JR., of St. Charles. Mr. Yates soon became
a partner in the store, and in 1825 he removed to Fulton, where
he carried on the business for many years, and made a fortune.
After his removal to Fulton the sales increased largely, and he
ordered goods so often that Mr. Collier became uneasy and went
to Fulton to see that all was right. Mr. Yates showed him the
books to prove that the sales had been made as represented, and
then handed him all the money due to date. This satisfied Mr.
Collier, and he returned home. Soon after this, Mr. Yates bought
his interest in the store and carried on the business himself.
Mr. Yates was married first to MARY NICHOLAS, by whom he had one
son, George, who is now a druggist in Williamsburg. His second
wife was ELIZABETH DAWSON, of MO., by whom he had Benjamin D.,
William, Martha (MRS. SAMUEL GRANT), Thomas, John and martin.
The latter is a physician. Edith, daughter of Benjamin Yates,
Sr., married THEODORE DRAIN, and they had Stephen, Dulcinea, Emma
and Franklin. Gilson Yates married CATHARINE FORD, of KY., and
they had James, John and Frances. Mary Yates married WILLIAM GUTHRIE,
and they had 6 children. Nancy married H. WOODS; they had 4 children.
Benjamin F. died when he was 16 years of age. Jeptha married ELIZA
J. HARRISON, and they had John, Mary, and Lucy J. William F. married
NANCY HOPKINS, and they had but one child.
YOUNG, Sennett Young, of Bath Co.,
KY., married BARSHEBA CATLET, and they had Elizabeth, Polly, Original,
Sennett, Jr., Edwin, Daniel and Willis. Original married DORCAS
MOON, of VA., and they had Hiram, Reuben, John A., Sally and Hannah.
John A. was married twice, and settled in Callaway Co. in 1834.
Notes:
Wright, William:
I came across your site, and on one page where you list families,
under William Wright you say that he was from England which is
incorrect. William Wright was the son of Richard Wright who died
Oct. 10, 1700 Stafford Co., VA at the home of Capt. Richard Fossaker.
He left his two young boys orphans. He had Mary Ellis take his
youngest son William and Gilbert Alsop to take his oldest son
Richard. I have copies of the Will and deposition.
William Wright was born abt. 1699 in Middlesex Co.. Va and died
Oct. 15, 1789 Fredricksburg Va. His father was Richard Wright
b: July 5, 1664 Bolton on Swaile, England and d:Oct. 10, 1700
Stafford Co. VA. Richard Wright's father was George Wright b:
abt. 1627 Bolton on Swaile, England, and d: June 7, 1674 Bolton
on Swaile, England. George married Beatrice Maulevere. George
was the older brother of the "famous" Richard Whittington
Wright who married Anne Mottrom. George stayed in England and
inherited his father's estate.
Now William was married twice first to a Rosamond (?) mother of
all of his children, then married after the death of his first
wife to Mary Brent (no issue), his death was documented in Fredricksburg,
VA newspapers. His oldest son John Wright married Rosamond Grand
(daughter of Capt. John Grant). I have alot more information if
you would like to see it.
