Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 605-606:
Edwin D. Wright, a prosperous farmer of the township of Colchester South, is a descendant of one of the pioneer settlers of South Essex, and he was born on the home farm April 7, 1850. He received an excellent common school education, assisting his father in the meanwhile upon the farm until he was twenty-seven years of age, at which time he located on his present fine property, purchasing it from Col. John Brush. At first he bought a sixty-acre tract, and three years ago added twenty acres adjoining. He himself has cleared about thirty acres, the property being now almost entirely cleared. Practically all the improvements in the way of buildings have been made by him, and upon the property recently purchased is a fine peach orchard of 1,200 trees. The dwelling is pleasantly situated near the lake, so that the home is a delightful one. In politics Mr. Wright is a Conservative, but has never sought office, his private affairs engrossing his attention. Fraternally he affliates with the I.O.O.F., holding membership in Lodge No. 309, of Harrow, of which he is a charter member.
     Mr. Wright married, in his home township, Sarah Lipps, a daughter of Henry Lipps, and to this union were born children as follows: May, who married Jacob McLean, and has two children. Irwin and Mildred; Bertha, wife of Charles Quick; and Lloyd L., Perry, Theresa, Clara and Joseph D., all at home. Mr. and Mrs. Wright are very well and favorably known throughout the township, where they have a host of warm, personal friends.

His wife passed away in 1891, aged sixty-four years. In Colchester South he married Zoah Marontate, also of an old County of Essex family. The father was a Conservative in his political views, and being a great reader, and possessing an excellent memory, was a well-informed man. His family was as follows: Francis (deceased), married Jennie Harris; Edwin D. of Colchester South, married Sarah Lypps; Emma married Alanson Iler, of Colchester South; Ella married Theodore Langlois; Cook and Clarence are both on the homestead; the latter married Amy McGee.
