Looking for the family info & desc of James Wright & Lucinda
(McComas)
Wright who moved from Rush Co, IN to Jasper/Edgar Co, IL in about 1840.
They are my 3rd gr grandparents from their eldest daughter, Johanna
Gilbert Wright, who married Wm Arbuckle of Clark Co. IL. James was a
"circuit-riding" Methodist-Episcopal Minister who d in about 1865. Lucinda
eventually moved to MO & was found in the 1910 census living with an
Osborn family in Texas Co, MO.
The children of this couple were: Reuben (James' father's name, never
marr), Johanna (marr Arbuckle & Wilson), Charles Henley (or the other way
around), Sarah Jane (Clawson, Martin & Shoemaker), Henrietta (Finch), Mary
Margaretta (Smith) & James (lived at one time with sis, Henrietta & family
in Vevay, IN). ANY info appreciated.
These Wrights, who don't appear to be connected with the "Wright Bros"
family who also lived in the area, were from Brunswick Co, VA prior to IN.
They had relatives in Greene Co. OH as well. James was the son of Reuben
& Anna L(Gilbert) Wright & Lucinda was the dau of Wm & Dicey (Napier)
McComas. She isn't listed as being a part of their family but we have old
letters, written by her granddaughter who knew them, giving this info as
being the correct ancestors.
Thanks for any help.
Merry Christmas,
