Here are some Wright/Brower family connections.

1. Mary Jane Rhodes married Rueben Wright. He was born 1799 NC d. 1875 MO. This was Rueben Wright's second marriage. Mary Jane Rhodes was sister to Sarah Ann Rhodes(b. 1826 KY) the wife of William Brower, the son of John Abraham Brower of Schuyler Co. MO.
The 1850 census of Scuyler Co MO shows Reuben and Mary Jane with 9 children.

2. Lucinda A. Brower married James Washington Wright. She was the daughter of John Abraham Brower of Schuyler Co MO. She was born 1825 IN. This James Washington Wright was the son of the above Rueben Wright and his first wife Nancy Helms b. IL.
Lucinda and James had 12 Wright children, they lived both in Putnam Co MO and Schuyler Co MO, and some descendants in Adair Co MO.

3. Pearl Daphne Wright b. 12-15-1880 . Pearl was the daughter of Emily Brower , the daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Brower, the brother of John Abraham Brower. Pearl was born in Lineville, Wayne Co IA were Dr. Brower and family settled, after leaving Schuyler Co MO. However, I have NO FATHER recorded for her. It was either a short marriage which either ended in death or divorce, or perhaps there was no marriage from the first place. This is a major mystery for me, and may never be solved.

Best regards,
