Martha Wright was the daughter of John Wright and Cahterine Weatherford, ws born in Charlotte County Virginia in 1811 and died of 'euthanasia' (per family bible) at age 90 in 1901 at the home of her daughter Martha Latta Little Fowlkes (m. Dr. W. E Fowlkes).The Powhatan name has continued to be used in the family line (including my father, a nephew, and an uncle or two), and there was always a rumor that there was Cherokee lineage.However, it's important to note that the other names this couple used, in addition to Lucius Powhatan, were Lycurgus, Finis, Jeptha, Alonzo and Ratliffe.So they might have been going for creative effort only.Their son, Lucius Powhatan Little was a prolific writer, took notes, started books, wrote books and lots of genealogy efforts and personal letters.But he never discussed it one way or another.I have a photo of Martha Wright, if anyone wants to see for themselves whether they detect any characteristic features.
