Early information for Barbara Wright Johnson - daughter of Philbert Wright and Mary Molly Sears - is sparse; however, much can be gained on her few later years as follows:

As best as can be determined, Barbara was born about Aug., 1801 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Based strictly on birth of first child, Warren in 1822, it's believed Barbara Wright married Ransom Johnson about late 1821 or early 1822- though no marriage document has been found.

Barbara Wright Johnson died closer to late 1832 of cholera in Washington County, Indiana - as her husband Ransom Johnson married a Barbara Copple in 3 January 1833. [Record of his 2nd marriage found at https://www.statelib.lib.in.us/INMarriages1850/marriages_display.asp?ID=149609

According to "History of Lawrence Orange and Washington counties Indiana from the earliest time to the present together with interesting biographical sketches, reminiscences, notes, etc." and published in 1884 by Goodspeed Bros. & Co. Publishing written about Barbara and Ransom's son, Nelson - both parents died when he was very young.
In all, Ransom and Barbara appear to have had at least 7 children in the 10 short years they were married -

Warren Johnson 1822–1861
Adalade Johnson 1823–1862
Nelson Johnson 1824–1902
Sarah Jane Johnson 1826–1861
John W Johnson 1826–1904
Mary Ann Johnson 1830–1879
Ransom Johnson 1832–1902
