Arthur Wright, a well-known citizen of Colchester South, is a worthy representative of one of the pioneer families of the township, and is of pure English extraction.
     Henry Wright, his great-grandfather, was born and reared in England, and in young manhood emigrated to America, settling at Rutland, Pennsylvania. There he married Mary Klingensmith. Being a United Empire Loyalist, he left Pennsylvania and removed to Canada when trouble arose between the colonies and the mother country... His children, all born before his removal to Canada, were as follows: ... Philip married (first) Miss Dowler, and (second) Delilah Malott, and became the grandfather of our subject...
     Philip Wright, the grandfather of Arthur Wright, was born Jan. 5, 1775, at Rutland, Pennsylvania, and came with his parents to Grosse Ile, and later to Malden, where he was first married... His second marriage was to Delilah Malott, who was born June 20, 1786, on Grosse Ile, and they had the following children: ... Ebenezer, born Sept. 20, 1818, is mentioned below...
     Ebenezer Wright, of the above family, father of Arthur Wright, was born Sept. 20, 1818, in the old house near the spring, and spent his life on that farm where he died Feb. 28, 1900. He married Eliza Stockwell born Aug. 22, 1818, who died May 18, 1881...
     To Ebenezer Wright and his wife were born the following named children: ... Arthur is the subject of this sketch...
     Arthur Wright was born May 25, 1855, on the old home farm, where he was reared through a healthy boyhood, spent much in the open air, to a sturdy manhood. He attended the local schools up to the age of sixteen and then began to assume charge of a great part of the agricultural development of the farm. He now owns the homestead, and there are few farms in the township more valuable as to location or productiveness. Mr. Wight devotes himself to a general line of farming, and successfully raises the grains, vegetables and fruits of the climate.
     Politically Mr. Wright, like his father, is a member of the Reform party. Fraternally he belongs to the Order of Workmen and is a valued and useful member of the local agricultural society. He is a practical, well-informed, up-to-date farmer, whose methods are founded on knowledge of climate and soil, and whose success demonstrates their value.
     On Dec. 29, 1879, Mr. Wright married Malinda McCormick, daughter of Matthew McCormick, and to this union have been born children as follows: Ella, Oct. 2, 1880; Florence, Jan. 1, 1884; Bertha, March 21, 1887; Belle, July 12, 1890; and Elma, March 12, 1892. The family belongs to the Methodist Church.
