Thomas L. Wright, one of the prominent representative farmers of Colchester South, County Essex, belongs to one of the old pioneer families, the founder of which was Henry Wright.
     Henry Wright was born and reared in England and in young manhood emigrated to America with a brother, locating at Rutland, Pennsylvania, where the brother remained permanently. Henry married in that State Mary Klingensmith, and when troubles arose between the Colonies and the Mother Country he decided to remove to English soil. .. later he moved to the lake shore, where he took up land in Lots 80 and 76.

     Philip Wright, being of age when he came to this township, received a 200-acre grant of land adjoining that of his father. When he married he took the rear half of Lots 75 and 76, and upon Lot 75 chose the site of his home...
     Philip S. Wright, father of Thomas L. Wright, was born Dec. 4, 1813, on the old home near the elm tree and the spring, and attended the log school in the vicinity, one of his first teachers being a Robert Thompson. Here he married Mary Quick, who was born May 21, 1811, daughter of Cornelius Quick, originally from Pennsylvania, and died at the age of eighty-one years, her husband dying at the age of seventy-nine. After his marriage Philip S. Wright began farming on the present Daniel Wright place, which he bought and occupied for some years, and later, by a trade, secured a part of the old home land, some eighty acres, which he cleared. He built a home on the north part of the lot and at a later date replaced his first house with the one now occupied by his son Gordon. Prior to his death he acquired eighty additional acres. Although he began life with no implements but an axe and a hoe, he possessed an unusual amount of sound, common sense and unlimited industry, and he became one of the leading and wealthy farmers of the township. Mr. Wright was a man of intelligence and a great reader until an affection of the eyes prevented their use. He was a fluent speaker, and on many occasions publicly advocated the cause of temperance, of which he was an exponent. Under different circumstances and more favorable conditions Philip S. Wright would doubtless have become a brilliant professional man, possessing as he did all the necessary attributes. Politically he was a Reformer and took a great interest in all public movements.
     The children born to Philip S. Wright and his wife were as follows: Ebenezer, born Feb. 7, 1836, is a farmer on Concession 4, and married Harriet Halstead; Cornelius, born Feb. 12, 1838, married Lorinda Patton and lives north of Harrow; William G., born Sept. 22, 1840, married (first) Rebecca Wright, and (second) Mary Walters, and lives in Harrow; Delilah Ann, born Dec. 13, 1842, married Judson S. Patton, of Amherstburg; Joseph, born Nov. 13, 1844, married Marian Lockhart and lives north of Harrow; Thomas L. was born March 25, 1847; Angus E., born Jan. 10, 1850, lives in Harrow; Gordon P., born Dec. 7, 1854, has the home place.
