I believe they were sisters. They are both buried in Eastern Cemetery in Portland, Maine. Sarah Wright married Henry Small. Dorothea Wright married Horatio Gates Cook. Sarah and Henry had a son, George Washington Wright Small who married Jane Cook Ulrick. Just trying to connect the dots.

No Dorothea Wright is listed. The Sarah Wright listed did not marry Henry Small.
