Notes for: Lucretia ("Lucetta") Bodine

I found this posted in the Missouri Queries, February to March 1998, at Rootsweb:

Wright; Bodine
I need information about the Amos and Lucetta Wright family who are believed to have lived in Missouri when three of their children were born, William H. - 28 Nov 1855, Charles W. - 1858, and Mary Alice - 7.

Nov 1860. Amos Wright and Lucetta Bodine were married in Feb 1850 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Amos went to the gold fields of California and is listed in the 1850 Censuses both in Ohio and California. I have been unable to find either Lucetta in 1850 or Amos' family in the 1860 or 1870 Census. In the 1880 Mississippi Census the birthplaces of William, Charles and Mary are given as Missouri. From Missouri the family is believed to have moved on to Indiana, Mississippi and finally Texas. Amos and Lucetta had three other children, Edwin G., Elizabeth (Bezzie), and Harry P. They settled in the Red River and Lamar Co., Texas area, getting there in 1884.
