So, your research leads you to believe that Caroline is definately a Harris. Hmmm, ... there are two kinds of records submitted in the LDS records: those that are submitted by relatives and those that are submitted by what I call "objective" LDS members who merely read the microfilmed county records and record what they read. My impression is that the marriage record of William M. East and Carrie A. Wright that I cited in my post was submitted by the latter LDS members, not a relative, although my impression may be incorrect.

If it was my family line, I'd order a copy of Caroline East's death certificate to see what, if any, maiden name the informant at the time listed on the certificate. I've got kin who were posting that a gggmother's maiden name was Kelly. I finally came across a death certificate for one of her son's, in which the son's mother's maiden name was listed as Heiffner.

I didn't follow Daniel and Rosanna Wright into the 1900/1910/1920's in my previous post, but will do so now:

1900 census, Berwick Borough, Columbia Co., Penn.
Dwelling 187; Family 199; Two dwellings away from William M. and Caroline East:
Daniel Wright; Age 61; Born Dec 1838
Theressa Wright; Wife; Age 62; Born June 1839; 11 children born, 8 surviving
John F. Wright; Son; Age 28; Born Feb 1872
Eva F. Wright; Daughter; Age 24; Born Feb 1876
Theressa J. Wright; Daughter; age 22; Born Sep 1877

1910 census, Berwick Borough; Columbia Co.; Penn.
436 East Fifth Street; Dwelling 252; Family 262
Daniel Wright; Age 71
Rosanna Wright; Age 70; 11 children born; 6 surviving
Tressie Wright; Age 31; Single

1920 census, Berwick Borough; Columbia Co.; Penn
101 East Front Street; Dwelling 65; Family 74
Walter M. Suet/Sult; Age 53
Ida M. Suet/Sult; Wife; Age 54
Frederick Suet/Sult; Son; Age 16
Rosannah Wright; Mother-in-law; Age 80; Widow

Good luck straigtening it all out.
