MACHIR
Am searching for information associated with Jane Amelia MACHIR, born August 10, 1835, 2 miles from Moorefield, Hardy Co. [per family Bible], VA (now West VA). She married on June 30, 1863 James T. WRIGHT, b. August 2, 1824 in Ross County, OH. They had two children in Ross County, OH: Lida V. WRIGHT and Harold Edward or James Harold WRIGHT. Who were her parents, brothers or sisters, when did she die? I assume she died in Ross Co., OH but is that where she is buried? Is she any relation to a James MACHIR? Any help would be greatly appreciated. V. Howell, E-mail: [email protected]
