Revised Oct. 12, 2020

I have to give considerable credit to Beulah Wright of River John, NS and Lois Jenkins of Annapolis Royal, NS, for much collaborative research on this family. My grandmother was Hazel (Wright) Goff #124, a daughter of George D. Wright, granddaughter of William Oliver Wright (son of Ward Sneden Wright), and 3g granddaughter of Joseph.

First Generation ------

1. Joseph Wright Born in Yorkshire, England. Joseph died in Clements, NS. Residence: Clements, Annapolis Co., NS (1794).

Joseph Wright Sr. is our first identified ancestor in Annapolis Co., mainly through the land grant to his heirs Joseph Jr. and James, as below. He may be the Loyalist and among the first grantees of the Township of Clements referred to as the grandfather in the obituary of James Wright, s/o William (who is presemed to be the son of Joseph Sr., see below). There was a D. Wright on the Township grant in 1784, but no J. Wright.1 {Note: J. could easily have been transcribed improperly as D.} In the Poll Book (voters list) for the County of Annapolis, 1786, the only Wright listed is a John Wright of Granville. Lois Jenkins (Clementsvale historian and Wright descendent) believes him to be the John Wright who married Sylvia Harris. He was from Halifax. There were no Wrights for Clements on the list. The first mention of a Wright in Clements (other than the D. Wright in the first grant of the township in 1784, about which no more in known) is in the Capitation Tax list of 1791 for Clements (Calnek, p. 252)1 . This is a list of tax-paying males, age 21 and up. Joseph Wright & Joseph Wright, Jr. are listed. This was 7 years after the grant of the Township had passed. Thus they may have arrived in the area between 1786 & 1791. (Other sons of Joseph, Sr. could have been present - e.g. James - but under age 21.)

There is no record of Joseph, Sr. buying property in Clements, although he may have and the deed was not recorded, as on Sept. 4, 1798, he sold Lot #32 (100 acres - originally granted to Franz Slaebaum) on the south side of the Hessian Line to James (just west of where Baird's store stands). (There is some confusion about this lot, as Caspar Pickel sold it to John Wright in 1794, and John sold it to James in 1799.) James had already bought Lot #13 on the north side of the Hessian Line in 1793. James & Margaret sold Lot #32 to Israel Potter, Jr in 1818. In August 1838 James & his son Walter bought 200 acres of the Power Lot from Robert & Sarah Dunn.

Joseph & James Wright, as heirs of Joseph Wright Sr., received a land grant of 200 acres, Lot #11, in a 2700 acre tract in back of the Hessian Line lots (Greenland area), granted to eleven Clements residents on October 6, 1810. It is assumed that Joseph, Sr. had originally applied for the grant along with the other ten men, but by the time the land was granted he had died, thus it went to his heirs. This land was likely procured for investment purposes only, as it appears that none of the grantees ever moved to the lots. James sold Lot #11 in 1824, so he must have been the sole owner by then.

There are two other families of Wright’s in close proximity - the John Wright of Digby (who married Eliza Betts) family and the John Wright of Granville (who married Sylvia Harris) family. At the present time, we have no evidence to connect them. See details of these families in a separate file, since they overlap in the Annapolis and Digby Co. records.2

Children: 2 i. William 3 ii. James (1769-1839) 4 iii. Joseph (1772-Nov 1836)

2 John Wright of Digby. Capt. John Wright married 4 Oct 1794 Eliza Betts, widow of Capt. Anthony Dauson (md 1791), (St. Luke's marriages). This is probably John Wright who appears in the 1784 Digby muster roll (one man), and who appears on the 1795 Capitation Tax list in Digby as Capt. John Wright. According to Win Haskell there are records of baptisms for 12 of their children in the Trinity Anglican records (Digby) bet. 1795 & 1825. From Dr. Allan Marble's Deaths, Burials & Probate of Nova Scotians, 1800-1850 from Primary Sources, Wright, Elizabeth, d. 7 Nov 1810, Digby, age 44, kin: John (consumption) Anglican cem. [probably widow Eliza (Betts) Dauson]. So the 12 ch. Were not all of Eliza. He must have remarried to a Mary, according to birth records of his later children (John and Mary). Wright, Mary, buried 10 Feb 1839, Digby, age 57 [Marble, 2nd wife of John?]. Their son, John Watson Wright, bapt. 17 Jun 1799 (72 in the 1871 census of Digby; d. 16 Sep 1874 ae75, s/o John, NSHVS) of Digby, md. 1st Eliz Turnbell (9 Nov. 1825, Trinity Anglican, Digby, “Capt. John Wright of the schooner “Pilgrim”, New Brunswick Courier, 19 Nov 1825) and 2nd Sophia Baxter (10 Jul 1856, Digby). 1871 census Digby John W. 72, Sophia 61, and children. John Wright of Granville. John Wright's first purchase was on May 1, 1782, when William Shaw of Halifax, Esq., and his wife Jane sold John Wright of Halifax leather dresser & dealer, for £400, Lot #125 (500 acres) in Granville Township, granted to Lt. Robert Fenwick of his majesty's Royal Artillery; Lot #127 (500 acres), and Lot #128 (500 acres). One of the witnesses to the transaction was Samuel Harris, John's father-in-law. John was of Granville, gentleman in July of 1782 when he gave a mortgage to a Samuel Katherns for Lot #140. He subsequently bought pieces of meadowland and dyked marshland from various people; bought 120 acres in Wilmot Township on Oct 8, 1784 for £50, then sold it on Nov. 29, 1784 to another person for £60. In 1787 he and Sylvia sold Lots #127 & 128 for £500, then in 1797 they sold Lot #125 for £590. In 1799 they sold Lot #133 (500 less 50 acres he sold earlier) for £300. These lots stretched from the Bay of Fundy to the Annapolis River. John Wright (d. ca1802), md Sylvia Harris (b.1760). Children: Elizabeth (1780-1856) (Betsy Charlotte, NSHVS), md James Chute 1802; John Harris Wright, oldest son; d.1835, md 1 Apr 1806 Granville Twp Eunice Messenger; James Stanley Wright, left NS ca1805; George; left NS ca1805; Sarah; md 1813 Joseph Balcom; Ann, md 1822 Henry Apt, res Clements; Sophia; Harriet (1798-15 Dec 1868, md 1822 Peter Cress.

Second Generation ------Family of Joseph Wright (1)

2. William Wright (Joseph1) Residence: 1812, Recruiting Sergeant in Newfoundland; 1827 Clements, NS.

William was identified from the obituary of son James.

From a hand-sewn booklet belonging to Wallace A. Wright, grandson of James & Margaret (from the Annapolis Heritage Society archives), the following lines, in presumably his hand-writing: Jos. Wright m Esther White Jas. " m Marg. Gray Wm " m Mary Black since we know that James and Joseph are brothers, we assume this implies Wm. is a 3rd brother.

Cyrus Wright may have been another son of William and brother of James. The two families lived very close to each other. Cyrus Wright of Dalhousie md. Martha Durgie (b. Scotland), 27 Mar 1848. Although he's listed of the Dalhousie Settlement (as is his wife Martha) in his marriage record (903. Married 27 Apr 1848, by license, by Rev. Edwin GILPIN, . . . Cyrus WRIGHT, bachelor, AND, Martha DARGIE, spinster, both of the Dalhousie Settlement. Annapolis, St. Luke’s Parish, Register of Marriages, page 53, no. 457) he's not really a Dalhousie settler (Martha's father was a grantee there). {Lois Jenkins} Their dau. Elizabeth, b.

William married Mary Black.

They had at least one child: 5 i. James (10 Mar 1814-15 Jan 1887)

3. James Wright (Joseph1) Born in 1769 in Yorkshire, England. James died in Clementsvale, Annapolis Co., NS, in 1839; he was 70. Religion: Church Of England. Residence: Yorkshire To Clements (1794).

Joseph & James Wright, as heirs of Joseph Wright, received a land grant of 200 acres, Lot #11, in a 2700 acre tract in back of the Hessian Line lots (Greenland area), granted to eleven Clements residents on October 6, 1810. It is assumed that Joseph, Sr had originally applied for the grant along with the other ten men, but by the time the land

Page 3 Wright Family of Clements, NS Register Report

was granted he had died, thus it went to his heirs. This land was likely procured for investment purposes only, as it appears that none of the grantees ever moved to the lots. James sold Lot #11 in 1824, so he must have been the sole owner by then.

At one time we thought our James was the James Wright who was from Carolina and was given grants in Shelburne with the loyalists. He was a colourful character with an interesting background, but that line has been disproved. The Carolinian Wright was granted land in Shelburne but returned to England without settling his land (Beulah Wright research).

Another line that has been disproved is that our James descended from the Wright’s in Connecticut, through Benjamin Wright, with a James I, James II and James III. This was passed on to me by Mr. Trueman Wright of Bear River in the 1970s. Dr. William J. Wright, an engineer who died in Frederiction at age 103, descended from William C. Wright, son of James, believed this to be the case, and it was likely his research that Trueman Wright knew, but it has since been shown that no one from that family came to Nova Scotia.

James Wright was granted 2.5 acres in Clements Township in 1805. Calnek (1897), in reference to the list of taxpayers in 1791 and grantees in 1805, stated “The Wrights still exist (in the Township) and occupy good positions in society”. 1 Unfortunately, he provides no biography of them.

In the book Nova Scotia Immigrants to 1867, compiled by Leonard and Norma Smith (1992): Wright, James. Brother of Joseph. Yorkshire to Clements Twp. ca 1800. Wright, Joseph. Brother of James. Yorkshire to Clements Twp. ca 1800.

In the 1827 N.S. census for Clements Twp: - James Wright, Methodist, farmer, with 6 males & 7 females - Josiah [sic] Wright, Cof E, farmer, with 3 males & 2 females (Joseph died Nov. 1836, age 64 - St. Luke's Ang. Burials) - William Wright, Cof E, farmer, with 2 males & 4 females (William probably died before the 1838 census as he doesn't appear there - he's not James's son William, as he didn't marry until 1833.)

In the 1838 census, Clements Twp: On the Hessian Line, west of the corner by the church: - James Wright, farmer, 3 females over 14, two males over 14, one female 6-14, plus himself. - Major Wright (son of Joseph, Jr), laborer, total of 7, next door to James. - William Wright (son of James), mechanic, total of 4, few doors down. In Virginia: - Ward Wright (son of James), farmer, total of 6

From: "Lois Jenkins" To: "Beulah Wright" Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2000

Some months ago I sent for a copy of the WRIGHT land grant, hoping it would provide more info. Their grant was part of a block grant of 2700 acres on the south side of the 'Negro Line', granted to 11 grantees on 6 Oct 1810. Lot #11 of 200 acres (not 100 acres as marked on Crown Land Grant Map #21) was granted to "James Wright & Joseph Wright, Heirs of the late Joseph Wright."

Here is what I have found from deed searches, in chronological order:

2 Dec 1793: James WRIGHT bought Lot #13 on north side of the Hessian Line (about 1/2 mi west of the

Page 4 Wright Family of Clements, NS Register Report

Clementsvale corner) from J. Jacob 'Balmore' (an original grantee). Anna. Co. Deeds, Bk 18, p. 206

6 Jan 1794 (one month later): John WRIGHT bought Lot #32 (100 acres) on the south side of the Hessian Line (about 1/4 mi west of the corner) from Caspar Pickel. Bk 11, p. 125

4 Sept 1798: James WRIGHT bought Lot #32 (100 acres) from Joseph WRIGHT, Senior, for 5 lbs. Bk 11, p. 93

3 Jan 1799: James WRIGHT bought Lot #32 (100 acres) from John WRIGHT for 5 lbs. Bk 11, p. 140 (There's definitely something we don't know here!)

29 May 1804: James WRIGHT and his wife Margaret sold 2 rods in breadth of Lot #32 (6 acres) to Jonathan Milner (he owned Lot #31). Bk 13, p. 372

18 Mar 1818: James & Margaret WRIGHT sold 100 acres [Lot #32] on Moose River corner, commonly called Hessian Settlement, on south side of road, John Milner on E & W sides, to Israel Potter, Jr, for 80 lbs. Bk 25, #537

4 Oct 1824: James & Margaret WRIGHT sold Lot #11, 200 acres, bounded on E by Andrew & Jacob Apt, on W by Peter Ringwood, to Jacob 'Weland' [Weiland] for 20 lbs [this was the land grant on the Negro Line]. Bk 21, p. 418

26 Aug 1838: Walter & James WRIGHT bought 200 acres "distinguished as the Power Lot" from Robert and Sarah Dunn for 35 lbs. Bk 33, p. 29

There definitely has to have been a fair number of land transactions that weren't recorded. I know I have found no record of James's son Ward Sneden Wright buying land, but several deeds recorded of people who bought land from him.”

In the 1827 N.S. census for Clements Twp we have: - James Wright, Methodist, farmer, with 6 males & 7 females - Josiah [sic] Wright (likely Joseph Jr.), Cof E, farmer, with 3 males & 2 females (Joseph died Nov. 1836, age 64 - St. Luke's Ang. Burials) - William Wright, Cof E, farmer, with 2 males & 4 females (William probably died before the 1838 census as he doesn't appear there - he's not James's son William, as he didn't marry until 1833.)

There seems to be a fair amount of thought that the Wrights of Clements hailed from Yorkshire (for example, Smith and Smith, 1992, above). One of the regiments that fought with Wolfe was the 15th Regiment of Foot, later known as the East Yorkshire Regiment. The Clements Wrights were neighbors of Milners when they lived on the Hessian Line. Four of James's children married Milners. The Milners were from Yorkshire3.

Birth and death dates of James from the writing of Winthrop A. Haskell, and he cites Clementsport Cemetery records from PANS, but unconfirmed as they have not been relocated by Lois Jenkins.

On 23 Dec 1801 when James was 32, he married Margaret Grey in Clements, NS. Born ca 1783. Margaret died in Clementsvale, Annapolis Co., NS, on 1 Dec 1858; she was 75 (“Christian Messenger,” 12 Jan 1859).

Witnessed James Fleet and James Fleet Jr.” James Fleet was married to Elizabeth White, Andrew’s daughter and Esther’s sister. In 1862, Mary, the daughter of James and Elizebeth Fleet, md John, the son of Joseph and Esther Wright (his first cousin).

Dr. Allan Marble's Deaths, Burials & Probate of Nova Scotians, 1800-1850 from Primary Sources : - Wright child, buried 14 Dec 1805, Clements, kin: Joseph, Jr

From Mr. Trueman Wright, by letter Jan. 20, 1976, “My father always said James (Wright) had a brother or uncle Joseph in Clementsport. I find a Joseph Wright Jr. was Sexton at Old St. Edwards Church in Clementsport from 1798 or so off and on until early 1830s. He died in 1836 at 64 yrs of age.” (grandson of David Beecher Wright)

Note: The dates of this couples’ children are baptism dates, not birth dates.

Joseph married Esther White, daughter of Andrew White. Born in 1771.

They had the following children: i. Mary. Born on 26 Oct 1794. ii. Susannah. Born on 9 Oct 1796. iii. John. Born on 10 Jun 1798. John died in Bear River, NS, in 1888; he was 89.

From The Chute Genealogy, p. 102: "Alexander Chute . . . married Mary, daughter of James Fleet, 1844 . .; [he] died 1846; his widow married 2nd, John Wright (Joseph, William, who fought under General Wolfe at the taking of Quebec in 1759), 1862, and lived in Clements and Bear River. She died Apr. 4, 1878, aged fifty eight. He died at the head of Bear River tide, 1888, aged ninety." Our best assessment is that either Joseph Sr. was the soldier with Wolfe in Quebec, or there was one more generation of Joseph’s missed in the Chute genealogy and Joseph Sr. is the son of William.

1871 census in Hillsburg with Wm Spicer 30 and Mary 23 (Mary is his step-daughter). They are not found in the 1881 census of Annapolis or Digby. He was also not found in the 1861 census; there was a John in Clementsport, which is likely the son of James (b. 1824) married to Eleanor Bishop; and a John in Hessian Line, which is likely the son of Ward Sneden (b. 1828) married to Jane Turpin. None in Hillsburg.

Note: there is another John W. Wright of the same age (72 in the 1871 census of Digby; d. 16 Sep 1874 ae75, s/o John, NSHVS) found in Digby, md. 1 Eliz Turnbell (9 Nov. 1825, Trinity Anglican, Digby) and 2 Sophia Baxter (10 Jul 1856, Digby). This is the son of John and Eliza Betts of Digby, and at the present time, we have no evidence to tie this John Sr. to our ancestor Joseph.

In 1862 when John was 63, he married Mary Fleet, daughter of James Fleet & Elizabeth White. Born in 1820. Mary died on 4 Apr 1878; she was 58. 12 iv. Sarah (Sally) (19 Oct 1800-16 Jan 1873) v.

Annapolis Spectator, Jan. 21, 1887: “Mr James Wright, whose death is recorded in another column (“At Annapolis on Sat., 15th inst., James Wright, aged 73 yrs, leaving a wife and 5 children to mourn their loss.”), was the son of William Wright, who was employed as a recruiting sergent [sic] in Newfoundland in 1812. The deceased was born in that Island in 1814. He was a grandson of a Loyalist who became a grantee in the Township of Clements in the county in 1784. His wife was a daughter of the late Peter LeCain, by whom he had 5 children all of whom survive to regret the loss they have sustained in the decease of a kind and affectionate father and husband.” James is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Annapolis. His wife was Eliza LeCain (Calnek, p.539), md. 11 Aug 1849.

Extract from proceedings of THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA/ series IV/ Volume XXII/ 1984. A.L. McALLISTER, F.R.S.C.

William J. Wright 1881-1983

A FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA for over half a century, Dr. W .J. Wright died in Fredericton, 7 April 1983, at the age of 102 years.

Page 26 Wright Family of Clements, NS Register Report

Bill Wright was born in Clementsvale, a small community in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, 4 February l881. He received his early education in Nova Scotia Graduating from Oakdene Academy, Bear River, in 1903 and from Acadia University in 1907 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He immediately entered Yale university where he graduated in 1908 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1912 he received a Master of Arts degree also from Yale.

After leaving Yale he joined the Geological Survey of Canada working first in New Ross, British Columbia and then, in 1913, in the Moncton area, where he did much to establish Carboniferous stratigraphy in areas including the Stoney Creek oil and gas fields.

In 1915 he was awarded his Ph.D. degree by Yale and then joined The Canadian Army. In 1916 he joined the Nova Scotia Highlanders at Aldershot, Nova Scotia. From there he was posted to France, and as a Lieutenant was wounded at Passchendaele. This led to his return to America where in January l9l8 he became an instructor for the United States Army at Camp Dix and Camp Perry. At the cessation of hostilities he returned to Canada, was discharged in December 1918, and then immediately returned to the Geological Survey of Canada. He resumed his work on Carboniferous geology in the Moncton Basin, an area in which he maintained an active interest, with interruptions for over fifty years. His publication on the area in 1922 was a standard reference for three decades.

In 1918 he married Beatrice Dunn of Taunton, Massachusetts.

In 1919 he taught geology at Acadia University on loan from the Geological Survey but left in 1920 to join Whitehall Petroleum Corp. for whom he carried out exploration programs in India, Kashmir and Assam. In l924 he joined Standard Oil of New Jersey and did exploration from the Red Sea to Capetown and S.W. Africa. This decade, with the rapidly developing petroleum industry over a vast area of unknown geology and in a variety of cultural settings, was one on which he looked back with fond memories. His experiences, both geological and personal, provided colour for his lectures in later years to two generations of students. His foreign work was unfortunately cut short by tropical illness and he returned to Canada in 1928.

In 1929 Dr. Wright went to Fredericton to become Provincial Geologist and the first Head of the Geology Department at the University Of New Brunswick. For the next twenty- three years he was a major influence in the geological developments in New Brunswick He resumed his interest in the Carboniferous basins of southern New Brunswick and was instrumental in initiating the first major regional Geological-geophysical survey of the area, which was carried out by Shell Oil. The delineation or salt domes during this time contributed much to the later successful exploration for potash. He made major contributions to the knowledge of occurrences of salt including glauberite, and instituted studies of the oil shales and mapping projects in areas believed to show possibilities for petroleum or oil shale reserves. In 1938 he encouraged exploration in the Bathurst area by the Hans Lundberg group, which led to the discovery of the Orvan Brook massive sulphide deposit, the first such discovery in the Bathurst area.

As a Professor at the University of New Brunswick, Dr. Wright brought to the classroom a wealth or practical experience and a broad geological background developed by a depth of field experiences in different parts of the world. Most of all he brought a warm personality, a deep interest in the students he taught and an active concern for their welfare.

Page 27 Wright Family of Clements, NS Register Report

Dr. Wright was made a Fellow of the Royal Society or Canada in 1930 and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of New Brunswick in 1951.

His appointment in 1971 as Honorary Chairman of the New Brunswick Branch of Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy is a reflection of the deep affection of all who knew and worked with him and the respect for his major contribution to geology in New Brunswick.

Note: There was a Harvey Winnington Wright of Nova Scotia who died in 1913 at Home Twp, Newaygo County, Michigan, as a result of a threshing machine accident. This is not the same Harvey W. Wright. Although we had it in our notes that Harvey, s/o William Oliver, had a middle name Winnington, I cannot now confirm that. This may have led to the confusion found in various sources on Harvey from Home, Michigan being the son of William Oliver.

56. George Davenport Wright (William Oliver4, Ward Sneden3, James2, Joseph1) Born on 19 Mar 1866 in Clementsvale, Annapolis Co., NS. George Davenport died in Elmsdale, Hants Co., NS, on 9 Sep 1931; he was 65. Buried in Elmsdale Cemetery. Occupation: Carpenter, Farmer, Justice of the Peace. Religion: Baptist - United Church Of Canada. Residence: Weston, MA (At Time Of Marriage); Elmsdale (Belnan), NS.

George was born in Clementsvale, and grew up there (nicknamed “Port” Wright). As a very young man, however, he displeased his father by leaving a gate open and letting some cattle go free. His father had a bad temper and was a hard disciplinarian, so George packed his things, kissed his mother goodby and left for the USA. He worked there for several years, mostly on farms. It was there that he met and courted his future wife, Fanny Fraser, also from Nova Scotia, who was working there also. When they decided to be married, they came back to be married in Fanny's church in West Gore. The first winter, they spent with George's parents in Clementsvale. His father quite approved of his new daughter-in-law, as she was a baptist and a liberal! In the spring, they went back to Fanny's home, to be near her mother. He bought a farm from Adams, and while Fanny stayed with her mother, George went back to the USA - Maine - to make enough money to pay for the farm. He built a new house on the property, when he came back, and he cleared the land. The barn - one of the tallest around - he built when his youngest son was about four years old. He also worked for many years in a grocery store, first in Oldham, then in Elmsdale, owned by Evan Thompson. He was a valued employee, as he had a very keen memory, and was quick at arithmetic. As his family grew he often travelled on the train to Halifax, where he worked on many of the buildings there, including the Nova Scotian Hotel and St. Matthews Church, as a building foreman. At one time, he was given the job of building highway bridges, in the county. He was made Justice of the Peace, and his law books and legal documents were still in his desk, when a fire destroyed the home, many years after his death. He was still a fairly young man, when after working too long in the rain, he took a serious inflammation, and infection of the prostrate gland. He was operated on, but the poison had spread and he died. He had worked hard all his life to support his family in an affluent style. He was interested in politics, and worked diligently for his party, had a strong community spirit and was much involved with the church and other community affairs, a highly respected man. As a young man, in his home area, he was known as Port Wright, rather than George, from his second name Davenport. He was always a fearless man, ready to tackle anything. As a boy, one night he had been visiting his uncle, and as the evening wore on, the grown ups had been telling ghost stories. It was late and dark, when little Port started for home, thinking about the tales he had been told. Suddenly in the dark field, he spied something large and white and he immediately decided it must be one of those ghosts. Instead of doing the usual thing - running for his life - Port decided to attack the ghost! He made for the white shape and was going to hit it with a stick, when the ghostly appearing shape leaped to its feet and ran away -- an old white horse! In later years his home was known as a place where a hungry traveller could find a meal or a bed for the night. He was always ready to help a neighbour and although he was far from his own relatives and saw them seldom, he was always good to Fanny's relatives and made them his own (contributed by Beulah Wright).

Beulah Wright believes that Clarence was a child of one of the older sons of William Oliver and Beulah Elizabeth Long, although they raised him as their own. Beulah (Long) was past child bearing age when Clarence was born. Charles and Florence were married and living with Charlie's parents when Clarence was 3 years old. However, since they had a child of their own in 1882 and another in 1884 and then left for US, it would have been likely that they would have taken Clarence with them at that time, if he was theirs.

Keith Wright completed his education in Belnan school, with grade twelve. He trained for a railway station agent, but did not like it, so left before he wrote the examination. For several years he operated a meat business, buying cattle throughout Hants County, butchering and then delivering the meat by truck on a regular basis through Elmsdale, Lantz, Enfield, Milford, and surrounding area. His brother, Harding, was partner in the business first, later he operated the business himself. As well, he farmed with his father, a dairy farm, then took over at his father's death. The family farm was "Hillside", one hundred acres in Belnan, Hants County. In 1949, he sold the farm and moved to Pictou County, buying a farm in Hedgeville, which he operated with his children until his health forced him to retire. During those years he cut pulp wood on his own lot, using a swede saw and hauling the pulp from the woods with a single horse. He loved horses, and oxen; attended the Bridgewater exhibition to watch the oxpulls whenever he was able, and any other exhibition where oxen were featured. He read and saved every story about oxen and had scrapbooks full of clippings and postcards. He always worked hard, to provide for his large family, never had many of the luxuries of life, but enjoyed his family and doing things with them. His wife, Della, always worked on the farm with him, making hay, gardening and cutting wood. As his children grew, they were always with him. He loved walking through the woods, to the river, and in later years when he was able to afford a car, he loved driving the back roads and exploring the countryside. Unfortunately, the last seven years of his life, he suffered from severe ill health. He had become badly crippled with arthritis, then took diabetes, which caused neuritis and he lost the use and feeling of his right side. A series of small strokes added to the incapacitation and he was confined to his chair for the remainder of his life. He minded that terribly, but when the families came to visit, when the grandchildren were playing around him and when the boys were playing their guitars and everyone was singing, he was happy. He died in the Sutherland Harris hospital in Pictou on the morning of March 5th, 1991, with Della, six of his children, his son-in-law and two of his daughters-in-law beside him. He is buried in the Hamilton cemetery in River John.
