My direct ancestor was John James "Preston" Wright, s/o James and Elizabeth. It looks as though James (b.1806) died by 1870 and that Elizabeth remarried a Richard Davis, though she is not listed in his household until the 1880 census in Raleigh Co, WV. James and Elizabeth are a brickwall for me and I have posted a more detailed query about them on this site. Attached to this post is a photo of an unidentified couple. The photo belonged to my grandmother (1929-2005) who said it could have been James Wright (b.1806) and his wife. Family story is that James was married twice and that his second wife was Betsy McGan/McCan/Megann/any variation of that name. I never found that James was married to anyone other than Elizabeth M. Campbell and can only guess that Elizabeth/Betsy's middle name is McGan. Would love to hear from anyone researching this line. I can be reached at amartnwv @ yahoo.com.
