Husband of Almira Tuttle Wright. Son of Joshua Wright and Sybil Loomis.
[SON] LESTER WRIGHT was born in Massachusetts on the 20th of August, 1804, and went to Otisco, N. Y., when an infant. At the age of six years he was taken by his parents to Genesse, N. Y., and when he was sixteen accompanied them to Wrightsville, as it has since been called. They reached here on the 16th of July.

As he was engaged during the working of the day in his mill, he attended the store only mornings and evenings. About 1837 he enlarged this branch of his business, and in 1840 built the large block now occupied by his son PHILANDER WRIGHT. ...
