==Background==
Wright was born in Bladensburg in Prince George's County, Maryland. His father had been a boy at the Battle of Bladensburg during the War of 1812 and had administered aid on the field to wounded soldiers. The British victory allowed the army to march into Washington, D.C., and to burn many of the important government buildings in the capital city. Among the buildings destroyed was the residence and private library of Wright's maternal grandfather, Elias Boudinot Caldwell, a clerk of the United States Supreme Court for many years.〔
His great-grandfather was a Presbyterian minister who during the American Revolution commanded troops at the Battle of the Meadows. The British destroyed his property and killed him as well. His wife was shot by a Hessian soldier while sitting at her window with a baby in her arms.〔
