 Emmaline Kittle
  About Emmaline's name -- This name could have been spelled any number of ways.  There is no way to know which it actually was.  Variations in the historical documents are Emaline, Emmeline, Emeline, Ermeline, etc.   I went with the spelling Emmaline because this is what Spring Hill Cemetery records have as her name.  Logic being, there was probably a grave marker at some point and this was the name they put on it.......the name, her husband, would have told them to use.

  Mar 1876 - Nov 1876 - Family moves to Huntington, WV based on the birth dates for daughters Henrietta and Emmisetta.  Birth records (see below) show Henrietta born Mar 25, 1876 under the name Emma Wright in Boyd Co., KY and Emmisetta born Nov 21, 1876 in Cabell Co., WV.  There is only an eight month difference between the girls which means, Emmisetta was born pre-maturely.  She probably died young, which is why she does not appear with the family in the 1880 Census.

  1892 - Emmaline Kittle passes away.  Unable to find death record.  However, the Spring Hill Cemetery website had her burial date on Apr 21, 1892, when I accessed the web page in 2024.  This link no longer works and they have removed the burial information they had.  Shame!  https://ghprd.org/index.php/spring-hill-cemetery-search/article/25944-wright [Broken link]

  About Henrietta' s name - As a child and young adult, Henrietta used the name Retta as seen on the census records and her first marriage record.  Then her name evolves overtime to just May.  The name Henrietta pops-up again on marriage and death records for her children.  She dies under the misspelled name of Mae Cromback.

  1910 - 1915 - Divorces William P Leiendecker
  1915 - New York Census - Henrietta is shown living again with William Beadle.  It is unknown if she remarried Beadle or just got back with him.  On the other hand, in 1915 there is a Land Assessment in New York records, Fred C Crombach, "New York, Land Records, 1630-1975"  , that clearly shows May living with Fred C Crombach. But in 1914, Fred C Crombach is shown living by himself.  So I believe at some point in 1915, May married Fred.

  1921 - 1930 - City Directory, Rochester, NY - Living a 23 Ringle Place
  In the 1930 Census, Fred and Henrietta May, do not appear.  They do however appear in the Rochester, Monroe Co., NY City Directories at the same address, 23 Ringle Place from 1921 to at least 1932.  I cross referenced their given home address in the directory with the street index to get neighbors' names.  I then placed those neighbors' names in the 1930 Census, to see if that address would appear.  The address of 23 Ringle Place was skipped in the 1930 Census.  Meaning there was no one probably home at the time and the census taker never went back to the house.
  1930 - 1932 - City Directory, Rochester, NY - 23 Ringle Place ( a house )
  1940 - Fred worked at West Side Weekly at Thrift Printing Co.,  Lived at 488 Main W ( a business with apartments upstairs )
  1940 - Census - If there is any doubt whether this census is for Fred and May, look at the address.  488 Main W, the same as the City Directories for Rochester

  Buddy Wright - d. Jun 17 or 19, 1889, Buried at Spring Hill Cemetery, Huntington, Cabell Co., WV. Same plot as parents. 5-22-3
 
Buddy Wright
  The name Buddy Wright is from the Find A Grave website. This information is based on cemetery records.  There are no markers except for a small flat marker that says Lee Wright.  Which was either, another unknown family member, or a PLOT marker showing that this is the Lee / Wright plot.  Information posted on the FAG website gives Buddy plot number as 5-22-3.    Parents are in graves 4 and 5.

In a death record on the WV Culture website, there is a Wright that died Jun 17, 1889 in Cabell Co., WV.  However, this document is so faded that very little information can be extracted from it.  I even did a gamma boost in my graphics program to see if any other info might appear.  Nope.  But if you stare long enough you can kind-of see the date. 
 

Death Record for Wright died Jun 17, 1889  ( #23 )

Select the image to see a larger version
  Based on this record's death date, June 17 , and the burial records for Spring Hill, June 19.  This is probably Buddy Wright.  Also, there is a possibility that the death date was June 19, and we just can't read it.

It would be helpful to know the age of the decedent.

Who Buddy Wright was, is also unknown.  Was he a baby that died young?  Was Buddy just a nickname?  Or an actual name. 

OR  Was Buddy the child born Mar 1880, that appears in 1880 Census.
