INDEX

Notes

The surnames of her father and mother were identical with the surnames

of her husband's father and mother, respectively, indicating that she and

her husband were probably related as second cousins or so.

The Maryland IGI records a few Celia Wrights in this time frame, but the

names of the parents mismatch in all but one case, in which no parents

and only a relative "Orpha Ellen Miller" (prob. a descendant researcher)

are given. Since her chronology fits perfectly, I assume it is she.

However, if all this is correct, she married at age 15; I am not sure

whether such a young marriage was likely to have occurred then. But

since her parents are known from the marriage record and their marriage

date is only 2 years prior, this must be the case.

"Quakerism on the Eastern Shore" shows the birthdate as 16 Oct 1790,

rather than 3 Sep 1791, which is more likely correct. Another IGI record

shows 16 Oct 1778, with estimated dates for al other children but Ann,

b. 11 Jul 1792.

The same book records a removal record for Celia Wright and her

children (9 of whom were born then), dated 6/14/1826, for White Water

MM, [Wayne Co.,] Indiana. Perhaps her husband is not recorded because

the record is from a women's meeting.
