     Matilda J. Wright was born on 21 February 1841 at Essex Co., VA, 1850 census shows a daughter Susan age 9, but does not show a 7- or 8 year old daughter for Edward Wright.

Either the "26" was an error, or this individual was not the Matilda, born about 1842, who married John Temple, because later censuses all indicate she was born in mid- or late 1842. The Sullivant book lists Matilda as the youngest of Mary E. Starling's children. DLB 2013.² She was the daughter of Edward Wright and Mary Esther Starling. Matilda J.
