Adeline WRIGHT (aft1845-1893)

1 Adeline L. WRIGHT^1,2,3 (aft1845-1893) [7230]. Born btw 1845 and 1848.^1,2 Died 8 Nov 1893, Genessee Co, MI.⁴

In a Probate record from the village of Owego, County of Tioga, January 20, 1866 (see full probate record under James Wright), Adeline is listed as Adeline Vaunostran. Perhaps she had a brief marriage, but no record of that has been found.

Geneologist Dave gustner notes: "I suspect that what we read as Vaunostran should actually be Vannostran or Van Nostran. In some other New York wills at about the same time period there are two or three Van Nostrons mentioned including a couple in the same village of Owego noted in the James Wright court record you found.

2 James WRIGHT^1,2 (1801-1864) [148]. Born 1801, New Jersey.^5,6,7 Marr Jemima CLARK bef 1831.¹ Died 3 Apr 1864, Tioga County, NY.⁶ Buried Lounsbury Cemetery, Tioga County, NY.⁶

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.

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.
