Mary Hutchins' age looks like 30 more than anything else, but if it was Wright's sister Mary, I doubt she would be shown as head of household. Wright's mother Mary would have been about 65 in 1865, and the number doesn't look at all like that. Mary (Weaver) Hutchins appears in both the 1850 and 1870 censuses of Rutherford County. No Mary Hutchins of the correct age (within 10 years either way) appears elsewhere in North Carolina.

     Alge Yelton was the son of Leonard Yelton and Nancy Madora Wells.1 Alge is named in his(?) father's will, but does not appear with the family in any census. The 1910 Census states that Nancy Madora had borne 8 children, 6 of whom were living. This makes perfect sense if Alge is dead, but then why is he(?) listed in his father's will??
