NEWTON WRIGHT, eldest son of William and Nancy (Keedy) Wright, and one of
the oldest settlers of this county, was born here August 23, 1824.  He
passed his early years on his father's farm, where he secured a
rudimentary education, and at the age of twenty-two years began for
himself.  He was industrious and judicious and soon had property ahead and
still securing more.  He succeeded in amassing a comfortable fortune, much
of which he has given to his family, reserving for himself a comfortable
home for his declining years (Orleans Township).  Early in 1847 he was
united in marriage with Margaret, daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth (Wilson)
Reed, a native of Kentucky, born September 17, 1824.  She died March 20,
1880.  Of this marriage there are five living children:  William T., born
December 5, 1847; James H., born February 12, 1849; John F., born May 21,
1852; Nancy E., born September 5, 1855, and Robert, born October 15, 1857.
November 25, 1880, he married his second wife, Frances, daughter of
Thomas and Sarah Reid, who was born October 12, 1836.  Mr. Wright is a
Republican and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
