WRIGHT The simplest and most natural explanation of this surname is that which makes it a name of occupation, nearly agreeing in meaning with the name Smith. It is said that smith was the general term for a worker in metals, whereas a wright was one who worked in wood and other materials. As is usually the case with surnames, the "authorities" give widely differ- ing explanations, and anyone not satisfied with one interpretation has only to consult another dictionary. Both the simplicity of explanation and the frequent occurrence of the name give strong probability to the explanation here favored.
Characteristics of the family are truth and honor. The word of a Wright would sooner be accepted than to believe most men on their oath. Rare executive ability, strong sense of justice, firmness combined with courtesy and affability, are other traits to which may be added patriotism, military ardor and a self- sacrificing spirit. Length of years have been rewards for upright living, and the Wrights
20.1
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
have numbered many centenaries in their ranks. It is recorded of one that when an old man- in the neighborhood of ninety-he went out one day to mow with the young men, but sat down to weep when he found that he could not keep up with the others. The Wrights from the oldest to the youngest are noted for their honesty and uprightness in all their deal- ings.
