E. P. WRIGHT real estate, P.O. Morrisville, was born in 
Lower Makefield, Bucks county, September 6, 1840, and is a 
son of Stephen and Sarah (Hellings) Wright, natives of 
Pennsylvania, and of English origin.  His father was a 
farmer and was the parent of seven children, of whom E. P. 
was the youngest.  He was reared in Bucks county, attended 
school at the Model school at Trenton, N. J., and at the 
Normal school at West Chester, Pa.  His first occupation was 
farming, but he subsequently embarked in the broker's 
business for two years, and then went into the grain trade, 
which he followed for nineteen years.  He also dealt in real 
estate, and for a time has devoted most of his attention to 
that business, in which he has been very successful.  He was 
married in 1869 to Anna, daughter of Thomas Adams, who was a 
tailor by trade and of English origin.  They have one child, 
Augustus C.   Mr. Wright has served two terms as deputy 
sheriff of Bucks county, and has served two terms as burgess 
of Morrisville.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, 
and in politics is a democrat.  Mrs. Wright is a member of 
the Presbyterian church.
