James Western Wright was the firstborn of John A Wright and his wife, Ilura Ann Ritchey. He was born in Greene County, Illinois.
Many researchers, finding it impossible to accept its true spelling, insist on changing his middle name to 'Weston.' The name 'Western' comes from the family of his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Perry, where it appears several times. Elizabeth, herself, named her youngest son Western Perry Wright.
James appears to be the last in his line to use the name. His son, also named James, was born in 1920 and was given the middle name, Weston. This may be an indicator of modern society's inability to accept the older version.
James was married three times. His wives were: Minnie Nichols, Harriet Sabina Holmes, and Josephine (whose maiden name has not yet been identified). In total, he had at least 8 surviving children.
James is buried in a plot owned by the family of his younger brother, George Witt Wright.
