    1. [NYALLEGA] I found Abel and Laura WRIGHT -- and more
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: CindyKeeley Surnames: Wright Classification: cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.allegany/6616.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Abel Wright (1807-1882) and spouse Laura Wright (1821-1901) are buried together in the Bellville Cemetery in New Hudson, Allegany County, NY (located just south of Rushford). Also buried with Abel is another spouse Eliza (b. ? - died Mar 4, 1826) who I never knew about. This could possibly explain the older David A. Wright if the census has his age wrong. 1832 is too late to be Eliza's child and too old to be Laura's (she would have been 11) This now creates a new mystery: who was the female with Abel in the 1830 census? And he had both a male child under 5 and a female child under 5 living with him and an older female in the 1840 census. More questions than answers - anyone out there have a marriage certificate? Anyway, this cemetery info is on-line now on the Allegany County website. The attached photos of son Almond (and Addie) show what Abel may have looked like.
