Biography
Henry Wright was an early settler of Dedham, Massachusetts. As a member of the "second generation" of selectmen in Dedham, he served ten terms beginning in 1661.
When land was granted to Dedham settlers in compensation for the land given to Christian Indians in what is today Natick, Massachusetts, Wright's horse was hired to go survey the land.
