Walter Ernest Wright, son of Charles and Ada, was married four times. He married (1st) Floy Kahri on October 12, 1910 in Northville, MI. According to Michigan Births and Christenings Index she was born July 31, 1890 in Plymouth. Michigan Divorce Records reports that Walter and Floy were divorced on March 24, 1913 in Wayne, MI. Her SSDI record shows a birth date of July 23 instead of July 31. She died in January 1986. Floy was married four times herself. Her fourth was also a Wright (unrelated) which explains why she died as Floy Wright.

Obituary of Albert C. Wright in the Saginaw Courier Herald, August 28, 1917.

The children are Charles of Jackson, Irving of Flint, Mrs Daniel Wilter of Lansing and Mrs. Arthur Word of Ohio. Two brothers, Henry of Grand Rapids and George of Birch Run, one sister, Mrs. Mary Campbell and one step daughter also survive. The funeral will take place from the Butler School this afternoon at 1 o'clock sun time. Rev. Mr. Hunt of Birch Run officiating. Burial will be in Birch Run.".
Incorrectly shown as Robert Wright in the 1870 MI, Saginaw, Birch run census.
8 James WRIGHT16,21 (1801-1864) [148]. Born 1801, New Jersey.22,23,24 Marr Jemima CLARK bef 1831.16 Died 3 Apr 1864, Tioga County, NY.23 Buried Lounsbury Cemetery, Tioga County, NY.23
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.
