Thank You! I have just found the marriage record for Alexander Wright and Elizabeth C. Beaver.
Both Alexander Wright and Elizabeth Beaver may have had previous spouses. This Alexander appears to have had a son named Harvey Wright born about 1818 in Ohio, before he married Elizabeth. The only other option is that Harvey is a brother of Alexander's.
If I have the correct family, then there is one other fact. The younger children of Alexander Wright and Elizabeth Beaver were born in Illinois, and were orphaned. So, both Alexander and Elizabeth died sometime before 1850. In the 1850 census, it shows two of their children living with Elizabeth's sister, in the Sperry household in Ross County, Ohio. The obituary of the daughter, Mary, says the Sperry family were her Uncle and Aunt. While this helps to support that Elizabeth Beaver was her mother, it does little to identify the family of Alexander Wright, or any other children of Alexander and Elizabeth.
Thanks again for any help, and I'll keep searching...
