Amos Wright ( November 24 1809 – March 31 1886 ) was a Canadian farmer and politician. Born in Leeds County, Ontario , he moved with his family to Richmond Hill , where he seemingly abandoned his education to become a farmer and mill-owner. In 1850 he was elected Reeve of Markham Township , but lost in 1854. After William Pearce Howland resigned to become Lieutenant Governor Of Ontario , Amos Wright gained his seat in the Canadian House Of Commons in a federal by-election on August 14, 1868 and came to represent York West . He retired from politics on July 8, 1872, before the next election, and died on March 31, 1886. EXTERNAL LINKS
