Perhaps there was a connection through missionary work.When reading about the Brainerd Mission in Tennessee, I ran across this:"Born 1795, David Wright from Newport, New Hampshire, and wife, Lucinda Washburn Wright, from Montpelier, Vermont, born 1802, served as assistant missionaries at a mission named Aiikhunnuh established in 1824."The Brainerd Journal, A Mission to the Cherokees, 1817 - 1823, by Joyce B. Phillips and Paul Gary Phillips.
Obituary notice is in the Christian Magazine, page 127, by Menon Association, 1827, available through Google Books.
