A granddaughter of theirs, Lucinda Wright (1893 - ?) evidently eloped and ran away to the Philippines in 1918. The man she married was Juan H. Acayan, and they married sometime between September 1917 when her passport application shows her as single, and January 1918 when she wrote a letter to my grandmother and is already married to Mr. Acayan. I believe the couple then sailed on the Tenyo Maru from San Francisco to Manila, via Hong Kong and Japan (according to her passport application). I am trying to find additional information about their landing in Manila as well as any information I can about the man she married. Lucinda's parents were Harry T. Wright (1866 - 1939) and Adrian W. -?-, born in Holland circa April 1871 (per 1900 US Federal census). Lucinda was born in California in 1893. I appreciate your time on my behalf.
