He entered the Royal Navy, 26 July 1798, as an A.B. on board La Sybille and attained the rating of midshipman, 1 May 1799. He was commissioned as lieutenant, 11 December 1807; commander, 20 August 1817; and captain, 1 April 1856. His active service ended with his command, 1816-1818, of the Griffon sloop at St. Helena, to which Napoleon had recently been exiled after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815. On 20 July 1818, he married Jane Leech (d. 1834), youngest daughter of Richard Leech, Governor of the East India Company's stores at St. Helena. He settled first at Chudleigh, Devonshire.
In 1833, William Elliott Wright emigrated to Upper Canada and settled with his family of seven children at Corunna in Moore Township. His eldest daughter, Catherine Louisa, was the wife of Senator Alexander Vidal (1819-1906), and his grandson, Dr. Henry Pulteney Wright (1851-1898), who was called in consultation to the death bed of Sir John A. Macdonald, founded St. Luke's Hospital, Ottawa.Information additionnelle :Note générale :The material in files 1-4 was presented in 1921 by Loftus Morton Fortier, superintendent of the Fort Ann Museum, Annapolis Royal, N.S., who was the husband of William Elliott Wright's granddaughter, Fannie Maria Wright.
