Its not Ira in the census i was refering too..Its Isaac Wright and Lewis Wright that is in the 1860 census. However my hunches as ballingers father is either/or Ira or Lewis! Below in the 1860 census you well see Isaac and Lewis are both 71..old enough to being ballingers father! Both Isaac and Lewis are both baptist preachers! They are both each living on opposite sides of ballinger! Lewis is the one that had preached at the same churches ballinger has! The documented book of A.B. Wright also refers to ballinger as much older then him! ballinger could be his 4th,5th,6th cousin removed! this is just an example! Have you ever heard of Jesse or James being a baptist preacher! Well us researchers can agree to disagree! we all need to get along if we are ever to find the truth! Ira Wright came into my picture/hunch later on! After finding this census! I dont want to get to indepth more then i have on this! We practically took over kims thread and ! i apoligize for that! If you would like to contact me further on this you can email me directly! Thanks for your imput! have a nice weekend!
