First husband of Sarah Terrell. His burial at Fairfield is recorded in Hinshaw but not in McBrides' cemetery book, so presumably there is no legible tombstone remaining.

See Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, vol. V, p. 292, records of Fairfield Monthly Meeting, Highland Co, OH:

Jonah Wright, son of John & Jemimah, married 1827, 5, 2, at Fairfield, Sarah Terrell, daughter of David & Mary. They had 6 children (full dates of birth listed for each in Hinshaw): Pleasant, 1828; Lindley Murray, 1830; Mary, 1832; Rachel, 1834; David, 1837; John, 1840.

1841, 9, 13. Jonah died at age 60, buried Fairfield.

1843, 6, 23. Sarah [Wright -- Jonah's widow] married Jonah Fraizer (elsewhere sometimes spelled Frazier).

=====

Internet trees available on RootsWeb/WorldConnect and/or FamilySearch say that Jonah married (1st) Sarah Ressie in 1798 in SC, and (2nd) Sarah Haworth in 1799, probably in SC. If correct, that would mean his second wife's maiden name was the same as his mother's maiden name, and all three of his wives were named Sarah.
