Valerie,
My records list the William H. Wright of your posting as 1914 (year of death) William H. Wright of Bedford County, Virginia, (place of death).
He was the:
1) son of 1874 Shelton Wright of Nelson County, Virginia, and Paulina (Jones) Wright,
2) grandson of 1850 Jesse Wright of Nelson County, Virginia, and Dicey (Gillaspie) Wright,
3) great grandson of 1799 Benjamin Wright of Amherst County, Virginia, and Elizabeth (_____) Wright, and
4) great great grandson of 1767 Francis Wright of Amherst County, Virginia, and Mary (Hawkins) Wright.
1914 William H. Wright of Bedford County, Virginia, was born on April 19, 1840, in Nelson County, Virginia, married Emma N. Pettigrew on June 6, 1869, in Campbell County, Virginia, and died on April 28, 1914, in Bedford County, Virginia.
My records list the siblings of 1914 William H. Wright of Bedford County as the following:
1) George Wright, born in about 1834 in Virginia,
2) Anna M. (Wright) (Shepherd) Camden, born in about 1836 or 1838 in Virginia, and
3) Charles Ellis Wright, born in about 1843 in Nelson County, Virginia.
My records also list the children of Elizabeth Jane (Wright) Mays and Anderson Mays as the following:
1) William M. Mays,
2) Susan Mays,
3) John Mays,
4) Jesse W. Mays, and
5) George Anderson Mays.
Jesse W. Mays married Nancy Alice Wright.She was born in about 1857 or in January 1858 in Amherst County, Virginia, and married Jesse on December 22, 1880, in Amherst County, Virginia.So this is not the Nancy Mays of the 1880 Census.
Hope this is of help to you.
