Author: rslottag Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15283/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am searching for information about one of my ancestors, Alexander Wright, who was born in Upper Canada/New York, about 1820. The 1850 census shows him in Lawrence County, Ohio, married to Matilda with 3 children (born in Ohio and Penn.). It lists his birthplace as Upper Canada, The 1860 census shows him in Lewis County, Missouri and lists his birthplace as New York. By that time he has five children, with the youngest born in Illinois. The 1870 census shows Matilda Wright, b. in Penn., with 3 of the youngest children living in Brown County, Ill. I presume Alexander had died by that time. The 1880 census shows Matilda and some of the children back in Lewis County, Missouri. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with information about this family. Thank you in advance for your help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My name is Jacqueline Sigrist and I am working on part of my family tree. While doing a search on Lycurgus Wright, your thread came up. Here is the info I have.. please let me know if any of this fits: My grandfather is James R. Sigrist- 1922- still living. His parents were Hazel Fern Jackson (1899-1984) and James Taylor Sigrist. (1899-1959). Hazel's parents were Alfred/Alford C. Jackson (born Feb 20, 1876 in Missouri) and Lauretta Wright. (Lauretta born in June of 1876.. or earlier... unsure of exact date) Lauretta's parents were Lucurgus Wright and Caroline James. My grandmother, Audrey (Temple) Sigrist tells me we are related to Jesse James because of the Caroline James' family. Hmmmmm.... Please e-mail if you have more info.

Having done a good deal of looking in to JAMES family (Jonathan is buried in our LEE Cemetery ) and with Surname SAMUELS we constantly field queries. I don't see my Lycurgus notes right now( he is not of the WRIGHT-LEE clan of Randolph and Howard county MO> I seem to recall he is of the Townsend WRIGHT line, no known kin.

Author: alaskanlady Surnames: Woodall, Tye, Wright, Bray, Johnson, Woodeff Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15280/mb.ashx Message Board Post: If there are any genealogy detectives out there I really have a puzzle and sure could use some help! I am seeking help finding the parents of Mary Emma Woodall b.1858 in Vigo county; d.1854 KS and her sister (half) Nancy Jane Woodall b.1857 IN; d.1919 MO. 1860 Federal Census-Indiana-Vigo-SugarCreek Woodall, William w m 23 farmer IN Martha w f 22 KY Nancy w f 3 IN Mary w f 1 IN Wm. b.abt 1834 In; d.bef 1870 IN m.15 Sep 1855 in Vigo to Martha (TYE) b.abt 1837 KY; d.1890 MO After Wm died, Martha took both girls to MO (abt 1862), and remarried to Henry Johnson 1870 Federal Census-Missouri-Sullivan-Duncan Wm's parents - John Milton Woodall/Margaret Ping Martha's parents - George Washington Tye / Anna Owens There is much confusion as to the parentage of Mary Emma Woodall. According to Leona and Joleen, her parents are John Thomas WOODALL, Sr b.1835 in Indiana; d.1862-63 m.1st to Betsy Bray m.2nd to Martha WRIGHT b.1837; d.7 Apr 1890 in Sullivan county, MO; bur. Warren Cemetery Sullivan county, Missouri children with Betsy Bray: Nancy Alice WOODALL children with Martha WRIGHT 1.Emma Mary WOODALL b. 23 Aug 1858; d.13 May 1954; bur Green Lawn Cemetery Clay Center, Clay, Kansas 2.John Thomas WOODALL, Jr. b.1859 m. Leona The strange thing about this is that the details for John pretty much match those of Wm the approx bd and both died before 1870. The details for Martha WRIGHT match those of Martha TYE. Both families show Martha with a daughter named Nancy Alice and both show Martha being married to Henry Johnson and dying in Sullivan county, MO before 1880. I have searched but cannot find any John, Thomas, or John Thomas that is the about the right age and with the right family either the Sr. or the Jr. John T Jr. is not on either the 1860 or the 1870 census with Mary E. Now assuming that I have the incorrect parents (Wm & Martha Tye) for Nancy and Mary in 1860, why is he not with his sisters in the 1870 census with step-father Henry Johnson? The William I show does have a younger brother named John, but I have not been able to locate him after he left home so no idea who he married or what his childrens names are, but do know that he was still living at home in 1860 so could not have been this Nancy and Mary E.'s father, but could he have married a Martha WRIGHT and maybe that is where the confusion comes in??? In 1860 Federal Census-Indiana-Vigo-SugarCreek William & Martha are living next door to his mother Margaret and on the other side of Margaret is a Bray family. I have not been able to find any additional info on Betsy though! To add more to the confusion, Mary E.'s sister Nancy Ann was located in the Missouri Death Records. It shows her parents as John Woodeff b.IN & Betzy Bray b.IN. This Nancy is most likely the same as the Nancy whose step father was Henry Johnson, but not 100% positive. I have also located the death information (7 Apr 1890, Sullivan county, MO) for Martha Woodall Johnson and it shows she lived in MO for 28 years, was born in Kentucky. On the 1860, 1870, 1880 census all show she was b.KY. In 1860, she was married to Wm. Woodall (marriage record - her maiden name was TYE) So 99% probability this Martha married to Henry Johnson was Martha Tye. So who is Martha Wright? Bigger question still is how did Nancy come to live with Wm and Martha if Wm is not her father?? Are John and William related? These 2 families are obviously intertwined somehow. Am wondering if Nancy and Emma were not the children of Wm & Martha, but just living with them cause their parents died or something??? And what happened to the boy?? If that is the case, then would bet that John and Wm are related somehow, but how?? And is it just coincidence that both men and both women had similar and in some cases same birth and death dates? Any help or additional information to help solve this mystery would be greatly appreciated!!

Tuesday evening Deputy Criswell and Johnson received a message from Byrne to come at once. They hurried at once and upon arriving found a posse of citizens surrounding the house of Sherman Wright, a notorious character, near Byrne. A clue had been found implicating Wright in thievery which had been committed Monday night. Monday night some harness, saddles and other things were stolen from Arch Forgy and Mr. Towler near Kittie. Forgy and Towler upon learning of the theft Tuesday morning, began following the tracks of the horses which the thieves rode. The followed the trace to its destination at Sherman Wright's house. Believing that they had a good clue officers Criswell and Johnson were telephoned for while they guarded the house. Upon arriving at the scene the officers promptly went into the house, arresting Sherman Wright, the occupant, and his partners, two men by the name of Shaw and Washington. A search was then made and all the stolen goods of Forgy and Towler were found together with a house full of other goods of every description, among which were much that were stole from Statler & Herndon Wednesday night. Sherman Wright, it will be remembered, is the man who sold whiskey here about two years ago and who skipped a bond which Dr. Loomis and J. F. Bailey, his bondsmen, had to pay. This gang is believed to be the same parties who burned McKee James' barn near Byrne in December and who burglarized the store of Riley Bros. here about two weeks ago. The three men were carried to Atoka and landed in jail. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
