I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lawrence & Virgil WRIGHT which was
taken
at the Harnish Studio in Noblesville, Indiana. The photograph appears to
have been taken in the 1890's with the two young children likely about 2-5
years old at the time. In addition to their names someone has also written
"Cousins of mine" and "Aunt Emma's boys in Indiana" on the back of
the
photograph.
Based on limited research and thanks to the help of a WRIGHT Family
Researcher I was able to locate the family in the 1900 census living in
Adams, IN. Census records provide the following information:
John C. WRIGHT, age 45
Susan E. WRIGHT, wife, age 37
Virgil W. WRIGHT, son, age 7
Lawrence B. WRIGHT, son, age 5
Angeline JACKSON, Mother-in-Law, age 58, widow
In 1910, the family is still living in Adams, IN with census records
indicating the following:
John C. WRIGHT, age 55, married 30 years, b. IN, parents b. IN, Farmer
Susan A. WRIGHT, wife, age 47, married 30 years, 2 children/both living, b.
IN, parents b. IN, Housewife
Virgil WRIGHT, son, age 17, b. IN, Farm Laborer
Lawrence WRIGHT, son, age 15, b. IN, Farm Laborer
Amelia JACKSON, Mother-in-Law, age 68, 5 children/4 living, b. IN, parents
b. NC
In 1920 the children have moved from the household and the census records
the following WRIGHT Families in Adams, IN:
John C. WRIGHT, age 65, b. IN, parents b. IN, Small Farmer
Susan E. WRIGHT, wife, age 57, b. IN, parents b. IN
Angeline JACKSON, mother-in-law, age 77, widowed, b. IN, parents b. NC
Lawrence B. WRIGHT, age 25, b. IN, parents b. IN
Elizabeth A. WRIGHT, wife, age 26, b. IN, parents b. IN
Eugene S. WRIGHT, son, age 4, b. IN, parents b. IN
Allie J. WRIGHT, dau, age 5 mon, b. IN, parents b. IN
Virgil W. WRIGHT is located in Center, IN during the 1920 census living with
his in laws, records indicate:
Benjamin F. GREEN, age 66, b. WV, parents b. WV
Louisa GREEN, age 59, b. IN, parents b. IN

Lizzie B. WRIGHT, dau, age 28, b. IN, parents b. VW and IN

I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
