Hancock County, Indiana
From: Chris or Beth Pany <[email protected]>
I have the Sue Baker book "Hancock County, Indiana Tombstone Inscriptions: One Hundred Years, 1833-1933", which is truly marvellous! All indexed by name, and grouped by cemeteries. Much of the actual transcription work was done in the 1970s and 1980s, but the book was updated and published by Sue Baker through Heritage Books in 1993.
She has also included township maps with the cemeteries marked and brief histories and locations of the individual cemeteries. It is well worth obtaining for yourself, if you have ties in this area!
Meantime, I have gone through and pulled all the "Wright" names for you wonderful people who keep putting up stuff that someday!! is going to help me.

The way I did it was looking at the main stone, which I call the
front then
moved to the right, then back, then left which makes me in front
again. I
wanted you to know how I did this because it might help put together
husband, wife etc. Everything I listed above is what I got off the
stone. I
can't tell you the location because it was not marked, if I
find anything else I will e-mail you.
Oh, I found this one over by the City Plot area, the only eara to
be marked. It was down by the woods and covered
up with grass and vines. I had helper that day, my nephew,
and he uncovered it:
ROBERT DEAN WRIGHT
APRIL 1819
That is the only date on it.
Good luck to you and all the people in the Wright line; may
this help you
all in your research.
