At this point in my search I know of no other way to contact this son, if he is still living, than to ask someone in Diboll Tx. to find him with this little information given.

Richard Razzy WRIGHT (C.S.A. vet.) his only child Jennie WRIGHT married a B.F. OLIVER. Either Dutch OLIVER or Ruth OLIVER (married names unknown to me) had this son who moved his mother to a nursing home in Diboll, Tx. I understand that these OLIVER women had many old portrait photographs in their home in Coleta Community.

He married Jane DAVICE in Angelina in 1855, probably the daughter of Jacob and Sarah DAVIS of Angelina, who were in Scott Co MS in 1850. One child was William Augustus TAYLOR, b. 1856.
