ANDREW WRIGHT, a pioneer of Madison Township, was born in Harrison County,
Ind., August 8, 1808, and is the eldest of ten children born to William and Mary (In-
yard) Wright, natives respectively of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.  William Wright 
served as a Lieutenant in the war of 1812, and came from Kentucky to Indiana about
the year 1807;  he settled in Harrison County, and there died, a respected pioneer.
Andrew Wright was reared a farmer.  May 15, 1834, he married Elizabeth Blunk,
who bore him ten children, two of whom are yet living--Mary A. and James.  The
mother of these having died, Mr. Wright married Roema Harden, who bore him two
children;  she died in 1865.  Mr. Wright next married Delia Hornady.  In the spring
of 1834, Mr. Wright came to this township and purchased 120 acres of unimproved
land, to which he has since added eighty acres.  His farm is now well improved, and 
well stocked with horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and  the necessary farming implements.
In politics, Mr. Wright is now a Republican, although his first ballot was cast for Andrew
Jackson for President.  He is an advocate of temperance, and he and wife are members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
