1880, p 745

F. A. WRIGHT, farmer, Section 31; P. O. Waterloo [in the northwest corner of 
Waterloo Township], Jefferson County [Wisconsin], was born in 1837 in the 
Town of Bethany, Genesee County, New York. He went to Michigan in the fall 
of 1855, and came to Dodge County in the fall of 1856 [about seven years 
after his future wife had come to Dodge County].

He [F. A. WRIGHT] was married to Mrs. Chloe A. KNOWLTON, formerly Miss 
BROOKINS, who was born in 1835 in Genesee County, New York. She [then Chloe 
A. BROOKINS] came to the town of Portland [Portland Township, Dodge County, 
Wisconsin] with her parents in 1849. [Portland Township, in the southwest 
corner of Dodge County, Wisconsin, is adjacent to Waterloo Township, in the 
northwest corner of Jefferson County, Wisconsin.]

In 1851 she [Chloe A. BROOKINS] was married to Mr. Daniel KNOWLTON, who 
entered, in 1844, the farm where the family now reside. He [Daniel KNOWLTON] 
died in 1875. [Submitter did not view marriage records, thus the marriage of 
Mrs. Chloe A. (BROOKINS) KNOWLTON and F. A. WRIGHT occurring after the date 
of death in 1875 of Chloe's first husband remains a good assumption.] Mrs. 
WRIGHT [Chloe A. WRIGHT] has ten children by her former marriage [to Daniel 
KNOWLTON]: Mary J., F. Adel, Alice S., Adda P., Azor, Elizabeth, Thaddeus, 
Maude, Edith, and Fannie. The farm contains 160 acres.
