The author of a addedum to "The Annals of Newberry" says that he saw his great uncle Isaac Wright in 1834, then being a little, old, dingy man of an intemperate nature. By 1838, they moved to Indiana and bought 160 acres. It was here they lived when he applied for a pension on Sep 10, 1838. Isaac and his wife Susannah died there.
