Daniel J Wright and Mary Jane Burton/Briton/Button

I am hoping someone can help me find more information on Daniel J Wright and Mary Jane Burton/Briton/Button (there is question on her last name because of the script in the marriage record). They were married 29 January 1831 in Bergen, New Jersey. I know specifics of one child, Abram (or Abraham) Wright, as that is my family line, but I have names and approximate dates of what should be the other children. My main goal is to find his parents or a death certificate so we have an idea where to look for more information. He was born sometime between 1805-1811 in England. He died sometime after 1860 in Jacksonville, Illinois, as that is the last census record we could find, but there is no death or burial information we have been able to locate thus far. I appreciate any help or direction!

Does this census record match your Abram?

In the 1880 census Abram (age 48), Farmer.
