In the 1840 census, there is a David G. WRIGHT living close to Margaret (WRIGHT) MILLER.
Also, next to them is Reuben WRIGHT & wife Anna (GILBERT) WRIGHT who are the parents
of Margaret & I believe, David is another son of theirs & brother to Margaret.
David married a Sarah NIBARGER/NEIBARGER in Greene Co. OH & appears to have
disappeared by 1860 because by that time, Sarah is still in Hancock Co. & living with
3 of their children, James, Margaret & Armilda. Armilda eventually married a
"GARRAND" & moved to Sumner Co. KS.
I am the 3rd gr granddaughter of James Gilbert Wright, brother to Margaret (and possibly
David G.) and son of Rev. Reuben Wright. Reuben died in 1856-57 in Hancock Co. IN but is
in the 1850 Wayne Co. census. He was a Methodist-Episcopal minister along with Samuel
BARRETT at the church in Knightstown.
If anybody on this list is researching any of these families or surnames, please contact
me at deae(a)consolidated.net and/or post to the list. I have much more info & old
photos to share.
Thank you very much,
