I'm interested in your reference to Philburt from Maryland, and wonder if you have any information about a Moses Wright from this Philburt line? Here is what I know, so far. Rebecca Wright b. 2 Mar 1827 Ohio (maybe Cincinnati), d. 15 Feb 1914 Achilles Township, Rawlins County, Kansas. Married Isaac Johnston Veatch on 18 Dec 1844 Pickaway County, Ohio. Rebecca's death certificate, from information given by her daughter with whom she lived, said her parents were MOSES WRIGHT, born Maryland, and ELIZABETH HILL, born Maryland. I have a copy of the 1840 federal census showing the page which has two entries of interest: Elizabeth Wright, one male 30-40, one female under 5, two females 10-15, and one female 50-60, and that of Thomas J. Veatch. I know from documented family history that Thomas J. Veatch was the father of Isaac Johnston Veatch, so it makes speculative sense to assume that this Elizabeth Wright is also Rebecca's mother. Both the Veatch household and the Wright household have a male or female category which would include Isaac and Rebecca in 1840. Again, they married in 1844. The families are living in Wayne Township, Pickaway County, Ohio, and that is the county of marriage for Isaac and Rebecca. This much is documented. It is too bad that the listing of household members did not begin until 1850! Rebecca and Isaac were in Union Township of Ross County, Ohio, in 1850 and by 1860 they had moved to Illinois. I have their subsequent censuses until their deaths, and neither Moses nor Elizabeth were ever listed on their censuses. This is the end of my documentation. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who might offer me a direction to search. herbert arkin wrote: >it turns out that that there are a number of philburd (Philbert >Wrights) one is the son of richard wright, sr and another set from >the line of Philburt from Maryland.
