My great-grandmother was Jessie Mariah(Miriah) Wright. She married Alvy Reynolds in 1895. They had ten children: Joseph Walter, Clifford A, John Arthur, Isabelle, Robert R, Charlotte Ann(my grandmother), Everett A, Florence A, and Donald. There is one more I cannot find (as reference to Everett's gravestone that he was 1 of 10 children of Alvy and Jessie Reynolds.).

If anyone has any information on Jessie and her ancestors, I would br grateful if you would. I'm stumped here.

From the census records, it appears likely that she was born in 1876 rather than 1863. That means she would only be in the 1880 census as a Wright prior to her marriage. I find a record in Tioga NY that would match her age, and location, and possibly a father named Joseph which would match the name of her oldest son. If this is the correct family, then her grandfather was Caleb Wright. Below I show 2 RootsWeb trees that include that family with some additional ancestors you might find of interest:

Thanks very much! I was wrong on the date. i'm going to check all this out.

The Caleb Wright you are referring to was the son of Thomas Wright by wife Sallie Murphy. This Thomas was the son of Caleb Wright the miller who relocated to Owego, Tioga, NY and built mills there. He lived in that part of Owego that later became Nichols. I do have a Joseph as one of the sons of the younger Caleb but no wife and therefore no children. Thanks for the info.
