The daughter of Joseph Tuley Sr. and his wife Ann "Nancy" Brownlee of Clarke Co., Virginia.

She married 27 Nov 1827, Frederick Co., VA to Uriel Sebree Wright, son of John Wright and his wife Elizabeth Sebree of Madison Co., VA. He was in Winchester, Frederick Co., VA studying and practicing law.

In 1833, Uriel and Sarah moved west to Marion Co., MO, where he dabbled in land speculation and built up his law practice. Uriel became a well-known attorney practicing throughout northeastern Missouri and St. Louis.

Meanwhile, her brother Joseph Tuley Jr. built an impressive estate on their parents' old farm near White Post, Clarke Co., VA. Their father, Joseph Tuley Sr., had become wealthy through his tanning business.

According to "E-Notes" at http://www.enotes.com/topic/The_Tuleyries:
"The Tuleyries is an ante-bellum estate near White Post, Virginia. The complex was built around 1833 by Colonel Joseph Tuley, Jr., who made the name a pun on his name and the Tuileries [a Royal Palace in Paris, France]. The house is a late Federal style mansion with a domed entrance hall. The house was sold by the Tuley family to Colonel Upton L. Boyce in 1866."

According to "Touring the Shenandoah Valley Backroads," by Andrea Sutcliffe:
"The locals thought the name for the house was a bit much...they suggested a better name might be "Hide Park.""

The estate would eventually be donated and is now the Virginia Arboretum. The house and other buildings are on the National Historical Register.
