Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, 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. In his young manhood he emigrated to America with a brother, locating in Rutland, Pennsylvania, where the latter remained. In that State Henry married Mary Klingensmith, and they became the parents of the following family: William, Philip, who married (first) Miss Dowler, and (second) Delilah Malott; Henry, who married (first) Miss Hitchcock, and had one daughter, Deborah (who married Matthew McCormick), and he married (second) Hannah Lipps; Thomas, who married (first) Jennie Little, (second) Mary Leighton, and (third) Abbie Larabie; Betsy, who married John Brush; Mary, who married Asa Wilcox; Mattie, who married Samuel Watson; and Katie, who married Henry Lipps. At the time of the trouble between the American colonies and the mother country, Henry Wright, as a U.E. Loyalist, came to Canada, first settling at Grosse Ile, and later moving to Malden, when he found Grosse Ile did not belong to Canada. He made his last home on land in Lots 80 and 76 and both he and his wife are buried there.
     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, all now deceased except Daniel R., were: Henry, who married Amanda Kent; Mary, who married John Mickle; Elizabeth, who wedded Henry Leighton; Jacob, who married Amy McDonald; Simon, who married Sarah Knapp; Hannah, who died unmarried, aged forty-five; Daniel R.; and Joseph, who married Zoie Marentate.
     Daniel R. Wright was born in Colchester South, on Lake Erie, April 28, 1820.
