A Scotch-Irish family:, Robert Wright was born in Tyrone County, in the north of Ireland. He was a man of sterling worth, and established an enviable reputation as a business man, having been largely engaged in the manufacture and sale of linen, which was at that time an important element in the productions of his native country. Mr. Wright, Sr., was at one time in possession of considerable wealth, but having been induced to become surety for parties who subsequently proved irresponsible, and thus brought on business reverses, he lost the greater portion of his means. He finally emigrated to the State of New York, and located in Cayuga County, following agricultural pursuits until his death, in 1846.
