I am looking for info on my family of Wrights in Henry/Rush Cos. My Reuben Wright moved
to the area in early 1800s with w/Anna(maybe Joannah) Gilbert Wright from Brunswick Co,
VA. Their son, James marr Lucinda McComas in 1830, Rush Co. IN & had dtr, Joannah
Gilbert Wright in 1836. In about 1850, James & family moved on over to Clark Co. IL
& some McComas' were in Jasper & Edgar Cos, IL at that time as well. I am
trying to find Lucinda's family of origin - none of the McComas families have a
Lucinda born about 1810. One of the Wright girls married a "Miller" & a
"Miller" granddtr was living in the h/h in the 1850, Wayne Co, IN census with
Reuben & Anna Wright. Reuben was a ME minister in Knightstown with another minister
named "Lowery" who marr another Wright girl. Another minister at the same
church named "Samuel Barrett" marr a "Clarissa McComas" but her family
doesn't list a "Lucinda" in the names of the children although Clarissa
& Samuel had a dtr by that name. !
On Joannah Gilbert (Wright) Arbuckle Wilson's death cert, it lists a "Margaret
Henley" as her mother but that is evidently in error. Joannah had marr Wm Arbuckle
in 1852, Clark Co, IL , div him in late 1880s & died in 1902 a "widow of A. G.
Wilson" in Lincoln, NE but I don't know anything about him at all. Any help on
this confusion will be appreciated.
