GEORGE WRIGHT physician and surgeon, P.O. Doylestown, was 
born in Burlington county, N. J., December 3, 1840, and is a 
son of Charles and Elizabeth (Taylor) Wright, both natives 
of Burlington county, N. J.   His grandfather, William, was 
a farmer in Burlington county.  Our subject's father is also 
a farmer and resides near Columbus, N. J.  He is the father 
of six children, three of whom are living:  Dr. George, 
Elizabeth, wife of Joseph K. Evens; and Charles, Jr.  Our 
subject was reared on a farm until he was 21 years of age, 
except when attending boarding school and in the winter.  He 
taught school a few years and studied medicine in his 
leisure time.  In 1864 he went to Crawford county, Pa., 
where he became superintendent of the Woodcock Creek Oil 
company, and remained there about eighteen months.  He then 
entered the Hahnemann college at Philadelphia, graduating in 
1868.  He immediately settled in Doylestown, where he has 
since been in practice.  He was married in the fall of 1869 
to Hannah F. Winchester, a native of Illinois, her parents 
being natives of New England.  Seven children have been born 
to this union, six of whom are living:  Elizabeth T., 
Walter, Sarah, Anna, Mary and George, Jr.   Mrs. Wright is a 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
