Cyreneus Judge "Charlie" WRIGHT was born 5 January 1852 in Miami County, Indiana, to Alpheus WRIGHT and his first wife, Huldah RATLIFF. He married Jane P. HOSEY WRIGHT, daughter of Isaac "Ike" HOSEY and Harriet DePRIEST HOSEY, on 25 November 1891 in Standing Rock, Indian Territory, Oklahoma.

C. J. WRIGHT and Jane P. HOSEY had 4 children:

Anna Florence WRIGHT MOORE, b. 1 JAN 1893 in Eufaula, McIntosh County, Indian Territory, OK

Judge William WRIGHT b. 10 FEB 1896 in Creek Indian Nation, McIntosh County, Indian Territory, OK

Cora Adeline WRIGHT GREER b. 22 JAN 1898 in McIntosh County, Indian Territory, Oklahoma

Olive Asenyth WRIGHT HEFNER b. 16 MAR 1902 in Checotah, McIntosh County, Oklahoma

"C. J. Wright, my husband, was born in Indiana.

His father moved to Stringtown. Stringtown, Oklahoma, is south of McAlester, Oklahoma. I don't know just how many miles. Not far, tho. And Charles (that is my husband, or was before he died in 1941) rode a horse through Indiana to Stringtown. He rode through Fisher Town and through Eufaula. Somehow he got to know my uncle (Mother's sister's husband, Pat Simpson) He would stop and stay with them for a month at a time and there is where I first met him.

His name was not Charlie. It was Cyreneus Judge. He did not like his name so every one called him Charlie. He had one whole brother (that sounds funny "whole brother") George Wright, and Alva was George's oldest son, my son's cousin. There are several children. Just one of George's children living -- son, Roy Wright, lives in Warner, Okla, 12 miles east of here. He is near 80. He came to see me a year ago. His wife is dead and been dead about 40 years. Roy never married any more."
