From the Clio Messenger.
1918-09-02 - "Henry Wright, who spent the summer at the home of his brother, George Wright, has taken up his residence in Saginaw for the winter."
1919-01-02 - "Henry Wright, of Saginaw, is making an extended visit at the home of his brother, George Wright."
We also have an undated photo of "Uncle Hank and Ida" that we assume is Henry Wright and Ida Belle Foster.
4 James WRIGHT4,13 (1801-1864) [148]. Born 1801, New Jersey.14,15,16 Marr Jemima CLARK bef 1831.4 Died 3 Apr 1864, Tioga County, NY.15 Buried Lounsbury Cemetery, Tioga County, NY.15
The death certificate of son, George W. Wright, lists his father as "John Wright". This error caused a many year delay in locating the correct parents of George W. Wright.
In the 1860 NY, Tioga, Tioga census the wife of James Wright is shown as "Anna". We believe this is in error as both James and Jemima are buried together in the Lounsbury Cemetery, Tioga County, NY. There is no evidence that James had other than one wife, Jemima Clark.
Find-A-Grave lists his birth year as 1810. This appears to be in error based on his age of 63 at the time of death in 1864 and the age reported on the 1850 and 1860 census.
Probate record from the village of Owego, County of Tioga, January 20, 1866.
"At a Surrogate's Court held at the Surrogate's office in the village of Owego, in and for the County of Tuoga, on the 30th day of January 1866. Present Thomas Farrington, Surrogate.

In the 1850 NY, Tompkins, Danby census, Jemima is listed as a person who cannot read or write. In the 1860 NY, Tioga, Tioga census, she is incorrectly shown as Anna with no indication that she cannot read or write.
