I'm a 1st cousin 3-times removed of Sarah Rudy, wife of John C. Wright. I don't have anything on the Wright family but I have a fair amount on the Rudy family.

Wright, of this review, who is farming in Concord township, Miami > county, and is serving as assessor of the township, a position which he > has acceptably filled for the past ten years, was born in 1842, on the > farm where he now resides, his parents being Elliott and Catherine (Myers) > Wright. His paternal grandfather removed from Virginia to this county when > Elliott was quite young and entered from the government a tract of land > which has since been in possession of his descendants.

The parents of our subject were well-known > and esteemed farming people of Concord township, where the father died in > 1850, at the age of thirty-eight years, the mother in 1855, at the age of > thirty-three years. John C. Wright, of this review, spent his boyhood days > upon the old home farm, and his labors in the field were alternated by > attendance at the district schools. He married Miss Sarah Rudy, a daughter > of Samuel Rudy, of Newton township! > , and to them were born the following children: Samuel Elliott, now a > farmer of Newton township, who married Miss Armina May Helmick, a daughter > of Phililp Helmick; Maggie Elizabeth, wife of John Rontzong, a farmer and > trustee of Van Buren township, Darke county, Ohio, by whom she has two > children, John Omer and Ruth; John Carlton, an agriculturist of Concord > township, who wedded Mary E., a daughter of William Fleming, and has one > son, George Stanley; Hannah Mary, wife of Abijah Swab, of Darke county, by > whom she has two boys, George and Herman; and Charles Irvin, who married > Miss Lida Deitrich, and has a son, Edgar. After the death of his first > wife Mr. Wright was again married, his second union being with Catherine > Caroline Bubeck, a daughter of John Bubeck, of Darke county. His wife bore > the maiden name of Mary Baisch, and both were natives of Germany. Mr. and > Mrs. Wright now have one son, Herman Walter, a promising young man of > seventeen years who is still at home with ! > his parents. During the civil war Mr. Wright manifested his loyalty to > the Union by enlisting in the Fifty-seventh Ohio Infantry for three years, > but after fourteen months, on account of disability, he was honorably > discharged. He participated in the battle of Shiloh and many engagements > of lesser importance. With the exception of the time spent at the front > Mr. Wright has always resided upon the old homestead farm in Concord > township, where he owns eighty acres of rich land, all of which is under a > high state of cultivation. His home is one of the finest residences of the > neighborhood, and the barns, outbuildings and fences are kept in good > repair and indicate the careful supervision of the owner, who is regarded > as one of the most practical, progressive and prosperous farmers of his > neighborhood.
