the 1860 census shows john bright jr. age 44, ann 34, charles age 10, elizabeth age 8, and
edwin age 1. this census says that john bright was born in maryland. this family was
living in parke county in liberty township. living next door to this family was the john
bright sr. family. john sr was also born in maryland, elizabeth his wife, and dorothy age
42 who was a daughter. so john jr. and dorothy were siblings.

living in parke county, liberty township.
