    1. RE: [PABUCKS-L] WRIGHT, BUCKS/LYCOMING COUNTIES, PA, 1785-1875

    3. Thanks for looking. Our Benjamin: Benjamin WRIGHT b. 12 Apr 1794 d. 11 Dec 1873 in Lycoming Co. His siblings were: Amos S. WRIGHT m. Mary ENGLISH 12 Oct 1797 - 7 Sep 1855 b. 19 Oct 1790 Mary WRIGHT m. Joseph MILNOR (1795-1867) b. 1796 d. 1836 in Lycoming Co. Thomas WRIGHT m. Ann ENGLISH 12 Jul 1803 - 15 Nov 1889 b. 8 Sep 1796 d. 1833 Ann and Mary ENGLISH were sisters. Rebecca WRIGHT (nothing known) I can find some of these names on the CDs I have, but not all or even a couple of them in one family. It appears that all of the children married in Bucks/Berks before moving up into the "wilderness". I've even tried looking for the spouses surnames, but have not made any connections.

All were Quakers. You didn't say when your Benjamin was born but Bucks had a Benj b. 31 May 1765 and d. 1842. He may or may not be the same one who with wife Esther had children in 1798, 1802 and 1812. In Berks Co it lists an earlier Benj, his marriage and children and one of the children was named Benjamin. There was more detail in the records of Exeter MM in Berks. The Bucks records were from Falls MM. If you haven't seen these records and anything looks interesting I can go into more detail.
