BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE.
Gen. JOSIAHI WRIGHT, born in 1752, son of Charles Wright, was brought by his father from Williamstown, Mass., to Pownal in 1763. He represented Pownal in the General Assembly 1793 until 1803, 1796 ex- cepted - nine years ; was Councillor 1805 until 1817, 1808 and 1814 excepted-ten years ; Judge of Probate 1801 until 1814-thirteen years; Judge of the County Court 1810 until 1817, 1814 excepted-six years ; a Justice of the Peace twenty-four years ; and Presidential Elector in 1804 and 1812. He was one of the Board of Commissioners ap- pointed in 1807 for the erection of the State Prison, "and is believed," wrote Gov. Hiland Hall, "to have been the active agent and super- intendent in its construction." IIe was Councillor when his death occurred, Jan. 1 1817, from an accident. Gen. Wright and his younger brother, Judge Solomon Wright, differed in political senti- ment on the formation of the Jeffersonian Republican and Federal parties, and each was a party leader in the town and influential in the

County and State. The General was defeated by the Judge in the election for representative in 1796, 1803, and 1804 ; and again in the ap- pointments as Judge of the County Court and of the Probate Court in 1814 ; but as during their political lives the Republican party was generally dominant, the largest share of official service fell to the Gell- eral. Both were Whigs in the revolution, and rendered military ser- vice-the General in the battle of Bennington, and the Judge on the frontier posts at Rutland and Pittsford. Gov. Hall has described them as "men of great natural talent and shrewdness, and possessing sound and discriminating judgments and determined wills, were well calcu- lated to lead in all matters in which they respectively took part."- Vt. Historical Magazine, Vol. I, article " Pawlet " ; Deming's Catalogue ; and Vt. Legislative Directory, 1876-7.

2 Gen. SAMUEL SAFFORD of Bennington, who had been Councillor for twenty-two successive years, was superseded by Gen. JOSIAH WRIGHT of Pownal. Gen. Safford was at this time seventy-eight years of age, and possibly expressed a wish to retire, though there is no published evidence to that effect. The above ticket of Councillors., said Spooner's Vt. Journal of Aug. 6 1803, was nominated by a caucus of the Jefferso- nian members of the Legislature of 1804, with Jonathan Robinson as Governor, Paul Brigham as Lient. Governor, and William Hunter as Treasurer. No statement of the votes of the freemen can be found, but the election of the Federalists Tichenor and Swan, while the Council and House were Jeffersonian, indicates that many of the Jeffersonians refused obedience to the recommendation of the caucus.
