Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 559-560:
Ellis L. Wright, a thrift farmer of Colchester South township, County of Essex, and a member of one of the early settled families of this locality, was born on the farm place July 16, 1858.
     The ancestor of the New World Wrights was Henry Wright, who was born and reared in England...
     William Wright, son of Henry, was born in Pennsylvania, and was eight years of age when brought by his parents to the County of Essex. By trade he was a blacksmith, following that occupation in connection with farming. His wife was Elizabeth (or Betsy) Lipps, a native of Virginia. He died in 1854, aged seventy-nine, and his wife in 1866, aged seventy-five. They were members of the Church of England. Their children ... Daniel R...
     Daniel R. Wright was born in Colchester South, on Lake Erie, April 28, 1820. He remained with his parents off and on until his marriage... On Nov. 27, 1855, he was married in Colchester South to Sarah Leighton, who was born in Amherstburg Oct. 7, 1823, and who died in April 1901, daughter of John and Ann (Posten) Leighton, natives of Liverpool, England; after coming to Canada Mr. Leighton engaged in farming. To Daniel R. Wright and wife were born the following children: ... Ellis L.
     Ellis L. Wright attended the public schools regularly until he was fourteen years old, when he began to learn the practical work of farming. When he started for himself it was upon a portion of the homestead, and since his father's retirement he has operated the entire property very successfully. The farm consists of 140 acres, and the whole place is kept in so excellent a condition that there is no doubt that the one at the head of affairs understands his business.
     In politics Mr. Wright is a Conservative, but he has never sought or desired office. Like all his family he is a member of the Church of England. Fraternally, his affiliations are with the Workmen of Honor, and Agricultural Society.
     On Nov. 19, 1884 in Amherstburg, Mr. Wright was united in marriage with Florence Pettypiece, who was born in Anderdon township, Jan. 24, 1864, daughter of John and Jemima (Brush) Pettypiece, natives of Pennsylvania, who were early settlers in the County of Essex. The children of this union are: Ivy Belle, born April 17, 1886, and Lorne Leighton, born April 9, 1892. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wright are very well and favorably known throughout the county, and have a host of warm, personal friends who appreciate their many good qualities.
