  • Notes: 

  • There is some thought to the argument that Richard Wright was William Sabin's step-father instead of father-in-law. William Sabin referred to Richard Wright as "father-in-law" which has been pointed out could have meant either father-in-law or step-father. If so, then Richard Wright would have married as a second wife a widow Sabin, William Sabin's mother.
