Erected the first grist and sawmill at present Cottageville, long known as Wright's mill for Benjamin. He was a son of Jonathan and Sarah (Yard) Wright, of Pennsylvania. An article by Mrs Corinne Staats Fisher in the Jackson Herald states that he was a soldier of the Revolution, as, indeed, were most young men his age living on the Pennsylvania frontier at the time of the war. His son, Benjamin Wright, Jr, age 46 in 1850 census of Jackson county, was the first County Clerk of the new county in 1831. Benjamin Wright, Sr (heirs) owned 1015 1/2 acres of land in the county on Washington's and Fall Runs and Mill Creek in 1832, reference JC Land Book for 182. This sketch taken from "Pioneers of Jackson County", by John House, it appears in the section "Lower Mill Creek" Wright Family Benjamin Wright, who built the mill at what is now Cottageville, came from Greene County, Pennsylvania, about 1800. He married Sarah Casto, as his first wife, and later married a Flowers. Of his children, if the river story is to be credited, he had three daughters who married respectively, a White, Black and Brown. Of others, I find: A daughter who married Squire Evans, for whom the town was named. Benjamin Wright, Jr, who was the first Clerk of the County Court of Jackson County. Benjamin Jr had children: Ruenna who married Hart Rader, Dr. "Bib" Wright, of Ripley and a daughter who married Ed Butcher. Another daughter of Benjamin Wright, Sr, married Joe Bibbee. To this, another historian adds a daughter who married Robert Shively.
