Hello I am researching my great grandparents without much success. The problem is that in the court house records the name of Wright and Light has been confused. To complicate things even more, my grandmother, Clara Belle (Wright) Murphy, told my dad that she was related to the Lightfoot's of Woodford County Illinois. (A connection yet to be found) Clara Belle (Wright) Murphy is the daughter of Joseph A. Wright and Lavina Miller of Knox and Fulton Counties in Illinois. Clara Belle's certificate of marriage has her own signature as being a Wright, but it is listed in the record books as being a Lightfoot/Light? Below, in the email just sent me, is information now showing Joseph A. Wright as also shown as a Light. I managed to find a gravestone for a Joseph A. Wright, and a Mary L. Wright in the Farmington. Fulton County, Illinois Cemetery. I believe this is my Joseph and Mary, the L standing for Lavina. But I have yet to prove this. I have made two trips to the Fulton County Court House and one to Warren County, as well as several to Knox County, and one to Woodford County, all without success. A Wright that lived in Monmouth Illinois, an Artist, who smoked a pipe is also related, but can't even find a name. I was told he resided for a time with my dad's brother Dale Rogers and his family in Monmouth in the 40's or early 50's. I am seeking to find any Miller Relatives, Wright Relatives or Lightfoot Relatives, and information on my family tree. One of the earliest Miller men I found in the Farmington Cemetery was named Clayton Miller. I have some of the Lightfoot familytree, but can't find a connection to my grandmother, but I know nothing of the Miller or Wright's. Thomas W. Rogers Subj: Re: [MILLER-L] Fulton Co.
