    1. [WRIGHT] Black & Wright family in Clark Co. IL
    2. Diane Ethridge
    3. In the 1860 Clark Co. census, there is a George & Dicey (Wright) Black living next to my 3rd gr grandparents, James & Lucinda (McComas) Wright. I believe this Dicey is a daughter to James & Lucinda & she is obviously George's 2nd wife. The first wife was Ethelinda Clements by whom he had 3 (maybe 4) sons, John, Samuel & Reuben. The children of Geo & Dicey were Margaret Ann, Geo W. & Henry G. Black. There was also an Isaac Newton Black, who because of the timing, could have belonged to either wife (I don't have Ethelinda's death date but the marr date to Dicey was 07-20-1854). These Wrights had earlier settled in Jasper Co. IL but I don't know if they moved or the county lines changed. If anyone on the list is researching this family, or the Black family of this area, please post where they were from & also, any info regarding the connection to this Wright family will be appreciated. My Wrights had come to IL from Rush/Henry/Wayne Co. IN & were from VA originally. The McComas' were from Cabell & Giles Co. VA/WV. They were very involved with the M.E. denomination. Both James Wright & his father, Reuben Wright were ministers. Reuben was co-pastor of a church in Knightstown, IN & James was a "circuit-rider" minister in IN & IL. Thank you, Diane Ethridge Conroe, TX
