I'm new to the list & searching for information about my
Great Grandfather
who probably came from Buck, PA in Lancaster County. I have
very little
data, but here is what I have:
From his Civil War Record: Born in Buck, PA & was 26 on
1-3-1865 so born 1838.
Enlisted in Decatur County Indiana
Mustered out at Indianapolis, Indiana 7-10-1865
He never returned home to my great grandmother so he was
presumed dead. My
great grandmother, REBECCA ANN HARDING and Dewitt were
married in Sept of 1864.
My grandmother was born about a month after he mustered
out. Don't know
where he went - he could have gone back to Penn. but who
knows. There is no
Civil War Pension application so he probably died before
the 1890's.
Does anyone have Wrights in Buck, PA or the surrounding
territory from 1838
on with a DEWITT CLINTON WRIGHT with them.
Keeping my fingers crossed in Atlanta,
Marilyn M. Long
