in North Carolina, and died November 16, 1863 during the Civil War in Madison
Co. Arkansas. He married Lucinda MCELYEA Abt. 1836.
Lucinda MCELYEA was born to Jesse MCELYEA April 4, 1821.
My great grandmother was Lucinda Ann WRIGHT, daughter of Bennett

The only time I was able to find Bennett was in the 1860 Madison
County, Arkansas census. In the 1870 Carroll County, Arkansas only Lucinda
and children were listed.
