Hi Diana, I think you posted your message to the wrong mailing list. This list is for Hamilton County, OH. You would probably have better luck posting to Lunenburg Co. VA, since it seems that the family you're seeking was from VA.

In 1798, he married Joanna Gilbert in Sussex Co. VA & moved to Greene Co. OH, along with the Wrights of Brunswick Co. VA, to start the Methodist-Episcopal denomination in that area. I'm assuming that, if he wasn't adopted or otherwise just "took" the name of Wright, he was related to the Wrights who were so prevalent in Brunswick Co. in the 1700-1800s. My Reuben & Joanna then moved on to Henry/Hancock Co. IN where they were also heavily involved with the M-E denomination. Both died at daughter, Margaret Wright Miller's home between 1851 & 1856. I don't know where they were buried. The only children that I've found so far for this couple, after 10 years of research, are: David Gerrard b abt 1802, lived in Hancock Co. IN & married Sarah Neibarger in Greene Co. OH. Margaret b abt 1816, lived in Hancock Co. IN & married Thos B. Miller, a M-E minister. Rebecca married David Stoddard & a McClary/McClay/McKay & d in OH. James Gilbert, b abt 1814, married Lucinda McComas in 1830, Rush Co. IN & then moved to Jasper & Clark Co. IL. James & Lucinda were my 3rd gr grandparents & James was a circuit-rider for the M-E Church. DNA tests done on a desc of Reuben Wright show a relationship with the Wright family of Lunenburg Co. VA who married into the Jarrett, Gerrard, Garrett, etc & Mize families. I would like to know if any DNA testing has been done on desc from the Brunswick Co. VA group of Wrights. I'm trying to find the parents & origins of my Reuben Wright & also his wife, Joanna Gilbert. Thank you, Diane Ethridge Conroe, TX
