Virginia Tennessee SCOTT was born in 1832 to Samuel and Mary
Scott in Davidson County, TN. The Scotts moved to Shelby County, TN before 1840.
In June 1850, Virginia was 17 years old upon her marriage to a school teacher
from South Carolina, Robert Wright, who apparently lived with the family as
teachers were wont to do on the frontier. In about 1853, Robert Wright Jr. was
born and by 1862 his father was either gone or dead; I have been unable to
determine which. Virginia and Robert Sr. appear together on the 1850 census in
the household of her mother, Mary Scott (widow), in Shelby County, TN but he is
not on the 1860 census.
