I can think of two possibilities: 1) Edward and John or John Calvin Wright were related, perhaps brothers. I know little about John other than approximate dates of birth and death and where he lived between 1810-1840. 2) Is it possible that Louisa's parents were not Edward and Sussanah? I assume that the Edward connection came from Louisa's death certificate in 1886? I don't see any commonality in names but then I don't know 4 of the sisters names in my Wright family, either. The one thing that rings a bell is that William Law was a Rev. There are ministers running all over the place in and around my Wright family. Phineas Holcomb was a Baptist minister and the Thurston family that intermarried with my Wright family had multiple ministers. It would not be surprising to think that cousins or sisters of Louisa would have similarly married other ministers.
