wife to Loudoun county. Va In the revolu-
tionary war the wrights, being Quakers, could
not bear arms, but the grandfather OF MIR:
James NJ. Wright allowed his teams 70 hanl
the provisions and munitions Of war for those
who did the fighting. The fact that his teams
we're engaged in hauling the cannon for WASH
ington to the siege OF Yorktown is one OF the
events OF note in the history OF the family
The grandfather at Yorktown found Lafayette
his back and carried him out. For this Lafay-
cite gave him his watch, which remained IN
the possession Of the family as u treasured
heirloom till it was stolen from a secretary at
Bladensburg by some soldiers in 1861. One OF
Grandfather Wright's horses was killed at the
for it reported to Congress by Mr.. Mercer,
Representative from Virginia, but 1t never
passed.
Mr.. Wright's father dying when he was about
ten years old he entered the store Of his brother
Robert, then prosperous merchant at Bladens-
burg. Here he attended the county schools
while assisting in the store and finally went
into business for himself In 1888 he married
near West River, in Anne Arundel county, Md,
and after voting for Harrison and Tyler in
1910 he came here with his young wife in 1912.
For some years he followed the business of con-
stable and collector. Under the Fillmore ad-
ministration he was appointed by Marshal al
ZACH in 1849 rs warden Of the Jail. and he filled
this place for about five years. Next he served
for year as clerk at the Metropolitan hotel
and was twice nominated by President Pierce
and confirmed by the Senate as justice Of the
peace. During the administration of President
Pierce Mr.. Wright was appointed clerk in the
War department, and, on the invitation OF
Maj. Lee, took the desk of Maj. Ringgold,
a judge advocate OF the army, being the
first civilian who had occupied such desk. When
the war came on and Judge Advocate General
Hall was placed in charge Mr.. Wright was made
chief clerk and the force was greatly aug
mented. Mr.. Wright did much toward bring
ing up this bureau to the efficiency for which
it is known, but was removed by Secretary
Cameron in 1874 for political reasons. Nine
children we're born to him. of whom seven are
living, and they are all married excepting one
daughter. Mr.. Wright resides with his wife
and unmarried daughter az No. 1900 18th street
northwest and in the summer spends the hot
season at his pleasant little farm in Prince
Georges county, few miles from the capital.
