Looking for info, connections for Joseph Wright, b. abt 1818 OH. An outline summary for Joseph & his wives & children follows.

A recently posted obituary http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p... on the Greene County, IN RootsWeb/Ancestry board established Eliza Jane Wright as the daughter of Joseph Wright & Elizabeth Casteel and married to John B. Mays. I am descendent of the Christopher Mays [father of John B.] noted below.

Also, I suspect that this Joseph Wright may be a brother to Lloyd Wright, b. 1814 VA, m. 1834 Coshocton Co., m. abt 1842 Licking[?] Co., relocated to Jackson Twp., Greene Co., IN abt 1849.

I will be cross-posting this on the Licking, Coshocton & Greene Co. and Wright, Casteel surname boards, so I apologize for any duplication. Always willing to share my data.
