My great-great grandmother was Harriet Wright, daughter of Ashael Wright and first cousin to Bishop Milton Wright. Harriet married Christopher Shearer and one of their daughters, Minnie Louella Shearer, married Edgar McCormick (birth surname Van Horn). Their son Russell Lowell McCormick married Elise Harriet Feikert and had my mother, Shirley Ann McCormick who married my father Arthur Lathram. Harriet and Minnie both remembered holidays at the homestead in Swanders. Not sure if you were aware of this offshoot, as we haven't been terribly active.
