A family bible page list his parents as James A and Martha Morurady (Morarity?). In 1835 he is in Evans, Erie Co, Ny and married to Altana Kingsley. Their children are Francis M 1835, Cynthia L 9/1838, Orrin Lily 2/1841, Ransom Kingsley 1845, Martha M 8/1847 and Flora A 10/1852. James was a furniture/coffin maker and partners with Lyman Hartford. There are a number of other Wrights in the Waushara Area that seem to have followed the same path but I have not been able to connect them. Land purchases are below. Orvil or Orrin S Wright born 11/1809 in MA, son of Gideon, is in Evans Erie Co, NY in 1840 and Waushara Co, WI in 1860. He is married to Emily Dunham and his daughter Phebe marries Daniel S Kingsley, the younger brother of Altana Kingsley. How do these families fit together? Would love info from any Wrights that followed these same paths. Wisc Land Patents Database: Waushara Co- Surnames T-Z WRIGHT EMILY 2 19N 8E 43.65 12 10201 1858/10/01 (wife of Orin/Orvil S?)
