Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, Toronto, 1905, p. 593:
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. With his family he located first on Grosse Ile, but later removed to Malden, when he learned the former land did not belong to Great Britain, and still later he moved to the lake shore, where he took up land in Lots 80 and 76. He and his wife were buried on this farm. They were the parents of the following children: William married Betsey Lipps; Philip married (first) Miss Dowler, and (second) Delilah Malott; Henry married (first) Miss Hitchcock, by whom he had one daughter, Deborah, who married Matthew McCormick, and he married (second) Hannah Lipps; Thomas married (first) Jennie Little, (second) Mary Leighton, and (third) Abbie Larabie; Betsy married John Brush; Mary married Asa Wilcox; Mattie married Samuel Watson; Katie married Henry Lipps....
