FamilySearch: James WRIGHT (ca. 1824/5, IN - 12 Je. 1893, IN) m. 26 Mar. 1850, IN, Eliza Jane PHILLIPS (24 July 1828 - 1 Feb. 1912). They had Laura Alice (8 May 1860/1, Gibson Co., IN - 26 Apr. 1946, Vanderburgh Co., bu. Patoka Cem., Gibson Co., IN). In 1880, the database shows them as WRIGHT: James W., 56; Eliza, 51; dau. Lucinda, 20; & "other" Scott TISSAL, 30. All births Indiana (including parents of James).

You might want to check the man of Richland, Jay Co., IN, 1880, Tillmon WRIGHT, 53, MD MD MD. He might be a cousin of Andrew & James. He wouldn't be a brother, since he was b. MD, and teen-aged sons Elmer & Emory were born in Ohio.

(not my family)

Good Luck!
