Looking for Caleb Wright

I am also researching the ancestry of Caleb Wright.His family last appears on the 1860 federal census living in Lind.He also appears on the 1850 federal census living in the town of Paris, Kenosha County Wisconsin.In this 1850 census it lists as children Delia(25), William(15), Nathan(20) my wife's great grear grandfather, LaFayette(9), Alfred(7) and Emily(5). William, Lafayette, and Alfred served in the Union forces in the Civil War. LaFayette and Alfred served in the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry. I have viewed the enlistment papers(1862) for LaFayette Wright and he stated that at that time his mother was dead and his father(Caleb) was insane. Both Lafayette and Alfred were granted invalid pensions and upon their deaths their wives were granted widows pensions. I have also viewed these records and both Lafayette and Alfred were born in Ashtabula County Ohio. There is a Caleb Wright listed in the 1840 federal Census of Ashtabula County Ohio. The marriage registrations for Alfred and Lafayette List Caleb as Father and Sarah and Sally as mothers. I am currently trying to find records in Ashtabula County Ohio. I have found a Caleb Wright and wife Sarah Sally Shaw having a daughter Lucinda 22 December 1819 in Carver, Plymouth Mass. It may be that this is the same family and they moved to New York, then Ohio, then Wisconsin.I hope this is of some help. Lafayette died in 1923 in Washington State; Alfred died in 1911 in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
