My maternal 3rd-great grandfather, Joseph WRIGHT and his second wife, Dorothy PALMER, were married on April 11, 1891 in Madison County, Indiana. The marriage license has her name spelled as Dortha PARMER, but other sources, including an obituary, have her surname as PALMER.
Joseph was born April 1838 in Brown County, Ohio, the son of John and Anna (WARDLOW) WRIGHT. His first wife, Rebecca HEATON, had died in 1890. Dorothy was born either June 1837 in Pennsylvania (per census) or June 27, 1847 in Parkersburg, WV (per obituary), the daughter of George and Mary (________) PALMER. Joseph died September 16, 1919 in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana. Dorothy died March 4, 1926 in Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana.
According to her obituary, Dorothy had moved to Ohio as a young girl with her parents. At the time of her death, two sisters lived in Brown County, Ohio, where Joseph was originally from. It is possible that they may have known each other back in Ohio.
