The tombstone attached and death date of 8 Oct 1837 belongs to his son Jeremiah Wright, NOT this Benjamin Wright. He likely died 1831 -1840, since with wife on 1830 census, but not with her or any children in 1840. One source says he was buried on his son Adam's farm, more research needs to be done.
