    3. I am trying to find information on Margaret Wright. She was b April, 1838 in Ohio. In the census she states that her father was born in PA, and her mother was born in New York. The married Osias H. Black (1838-1863in Civil War) in Perry Co. 20 May 1860. She had two children by him: Chauncey Evertt Black (1860-1931) and Florence Abelia Black who died in 1870 and is buried at Black's Chapel in Perry County. She married 2nd Elias Clover 25 Dec 1864 at Burne Station in Fairfield Co. Ohio. They moved to Lancaster in Fairfield County and had 9 children: Harvey Ellis, Hannah V., John V., Clorinda M., Minerva L., Commodore Perry, Albert W., Emma L., and Worthy S., who were living in Lancaster in the 1900's. She divorces Elias Clover 23 Sept, 1882, and resumed her married name of Margaret Black, and collected a widows pension from Osias' service in the Civil War until her death in 1905. I can't find her on the 1850 census of Perry or Fairfield Counties. The only other information I have comes from a deed selling land to Joseph Wright. It lists the following people as selling land in Perry County to Joseph Wright: William C. Wright--Lewis Co., Missouri Susan A. Wright--Lewis Co., Missouri William Mulligan--Franklin Co., Ohio Susan Milligan--Franklin Co., Ohio William Innis--Franklin Co., Ohio Sarah E. Innis--Franklin Co., Ohio John Milligan--Franklin Co., Ohio Hannah Milligan--Franklin Co., Ohio Mary E. Sain--Perry Co Henry Sain (his mark)--Perry Co. Harriet Wright (her mark)--Perry Co. Matilda Tracy (Ivacy?)(his mark)Perry Co. John Tracy (Ivacy?)(his mark)Perry Co Nancy Greysinger (her mark)--Perry Co Robert B. Wright--Perry Co John W. Elder--Perry Co. Sarah Elder--Perry Co. Thomas L. Housholder--Perry Co. Mary Housholder--Perry Co. Evanna Wright (her mark)--Perry Co. Margaret Clover --Fairfield Co. Elias Clover (his mark)--Fairfield Co. Anna J. Dollison--Perry Co. William Greysinger--Perry Co. This deed was made the 14 day of June 1875. I'm at a dead end. Any help would be appreciated! Susie
