Looking for a Mr. Wright who married a Rebecca Burt and at least one of their children was
born in , Jackson, OH, and later Rebecca and daughter Martha lived in Ottumwa IA. Who they are, how they got to Iowa or who Mr. Wright (or a Mr. Nosler) is the question.

Mrs. Rebecca (Burt) Wright was either widowed or divorced from Mr. Wright and later
married Mr. Nosler in Iowa. Unknown if he survives long, but she will later die in the state of
Oregon, using the Nosler surname.

The 1885, 4th census for Ottumwa lists:
James E. Hawkins, 35, M, md, bookkeeper, born NY, m/f foreign born
Martha Hawkins, 30, F, md, keeps house, born OH
Enola, 12, F, b Wapello
Bert, 10, M, b Wapello
Arthur, 3, M, b Wapello
Rebecca No(s)ler, 57, F, widow, born OH

James and Martha married Jun 1, 1871 in Prob: , Wapello, Iowa, daughter of ? WRIGHT
and REBECCA BURT. She was born Aug 15, 1847 in , Jackson, Ohio, and died Apr 23,
1931 in Klamath Falls, Klamath, Oregon.

======================================

One more thing: We have a journal of Martha Wright Hawkins' daughter Enola, written in
1904/5... She writes something about AUNT MINNIE. Pondering if the Minnie born to this
Samantha could have been named for this "AUNT MINNIE" our Enola was writing to, as
Enola and this Minnie were about 1 year apart in birth.

Thanks.
