The death of Joseph Wright in 1894 coincides with the 1875 map adjacent to the obit, wherein I have highlighted the streets, along with the two listings of the Wright family. Note the toll house that was at the intersection of what was then Cedar Street at the intersection of So. Broad Street, (then the White Horse Turnpike), and Lalor Street. The map gives just a tantalizing indication of th extent of the Wright family land holdings in Hamilton Township. When the farm was broken up for development, the real estate ads listed it as the "Wright Land Association."
