1870 United States Federal Census Record of Pike County, Kentucky, household of ? WRIGHT^[3]

Note: Household members of the 1870 household was taken from database listing as record is too light to read in most places. From the 1860 Census record the household appears to have been headed by Samuel WRIGHT^[4] as similar names and ages are found in that household. No Record of marriage was found in Pike County, Kentucky between a Samuel WRIGHT and Elizabeth ADAMS, but the first child listed here would have been born about 1848 and the records in the index skip from 1839 to 1853 in Pike County, Kentucky. Even so, my research notes stated that William ADAMS had a daughter named Elizabeth and this might be the same individual.
