Notes for: Amos Peasley Wright
His parents' names come from Maxine Giles.
Besides Edwin Francis Wright (wife was Addie Lee Yates Wallace), Amos and Lucetta had Clara (b. 9/14/1853), William H. (b. 1856), Charles W. (b. 1858), Mary Alice (b. 11/7/1860), Bessie (b. 1862), and Harry (b. 1864).
Edwin and Addie Wright are the parents of Maxine's mother. I found Maxine on the Sebring page of genforum. Her address is "dmgiles1 at home.com". Maxine said that Edwin was previously married and had children: Vera, Bill, Ernest, and Joe.

Hi Dave & Robin
Decided to spend a little time going over some of the descendants of Elisha Bodine today and noticed that the children of Lucetta & Amos aren't filled in. Did a search and came up with more children than are listed.
Amos is in the California gold fields in 1850.
1850 census for Elisha Bodine - Wright, Amos - listed in household - note says "Gone to California" Checked and found him in CA - without Lucetta.
The reason they couldn't be found in 1860 is because the surname is mis-spelled:

From Maxine Giles
My email is now dmgiles1 at comcast.net.
My notes on Amos P. Wright and his wife Lucetta, also Edwin F. Wright include an incorrect email address.
You might correct this.
My mothers grandmother is Lucetta Bodine. I have pictures of both she and Amos P. Wright. Did you go back further than William Bodine born 1710? I belong to DAR thru William Bodine born 1736 in Orange Co., New York.
Thanks,
Maxine
