  Notes	Hansel Wright (1773-1856) came to East Texas in 1836 and was granted land for service in the Republic of Texas Army in 1846. He moved his family to this area and used a portion of his land to establish the cemetery at this site. Theo oldest marked grave is that of an infant, Neva Richardosn who died in 1852. For many years the cemetery served nearby Wright's meetinghouse. A Methodics church also used as a schoolhouse as the burial ground of a pioneer area family. Wright Cemetery serves as a reminder of early settlers of Rusk County. (historical marker at Wright's Cemetery in Henderson)
