Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 235-236:
Cook Wright, an energetic farmer of Malden township, County of Essex, is a descendant of one of the pioneer settlers of Colchester, numbered among the very first to locate in this vicinity.
     Joseph J. Wright, his father, was born in Colchester township, on the homestead farm, near the lake. As a young man he assisted in the clearing of the home farm, and also for a time following sailing, in time becoming master and part owner of the schooner "L. Patton." His home was always Colchester South, where he engaged in farming and owned considerable land. He died in Colchester in February, 1901, aged seventy-nine years. 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.
     Cook Wright was born on the home farm April 4, 1858, in the house which is still standing. He received a common school education, and on April 19, 1886 came to his present farm of 100 acres, in Malden township, near Amherstburg, which was purchased by his father. This property was but little improved, but Mr. Wright now has eighty-five acres under cultivation; his buildings are substantial, and there is a pleasing appearance of thrift about his premises which shows that a master-hand is at the head of affairs. In politics he is a stanch Conservative, but has not aspired to political honors.
     Mr. Wright married, in Colchester South, Miss Della Edgworth, and to the union have been born: Ross, who died at the age of nine years; Gussie, who died at the age of eight years; and Lance, Jessie, Fred, Chloe and David, at home. Mr. Wright has always been a hard-working man, and his success is most certainly well deserved.
     Mrs. Della (Edgworth) Wright was born in Windham, County of Norfolk, Ont., July 11, 1858, daughter of Edward and Drucilla (Freland) Edgworth, the former of whom is a farmer in Michigan. He came to the County of Essex and settled in Anderdon township in 1884, purchasing 100 acres, where his wife died in 1900, aged sixty-eight years. He removed to Michigan in 1901. Like his wife he is a member of the Church of England. They were the parents of children as follows: Miles, an engineer, of Windsor, Ont.; Lehman, a farmer of Aylmer, Ont.; Agnes of Windsor, Ont., who married John N. Fuller; Della, Mrs. Wright; Charles, a carpenter, of Michigan; Jessie, who married Thomas Imerson, a farmer of Anderdon township; Nettie of Detroit, married to Robert Fryer; Isabella, of Windsor, Ont., who married Andrew Grove, a painter; and Melvina, wife of John Cockburn, a farmer of Michigan.
