The intersection of Dunbar Road and Hamlin-Parma Townline Road is known as Wright’s Corners, named after the Wright family. The area was settled by four brothers from Oneida County – Barber, Nathan, Gad Jr., and Jesse Wright. These four brothers, together with their families, four sisters, and their mother Elizabeth White-Wright, arrived in Parma between 1810 and 1812. They cleared the land and erected log cabin homes. Both Barber and Nathan received additional land grants of 400 acres each from the government for their service in the War of 1812.

Barber eventually became the wealthiest man in town, as he eventually possessed the most real estate. He was also known for his thriftiness, for which there is an interesting family story: The four Wright brothers were returning from paying their taxes in Batavia, when one of the brothers suggested they stop at Clarkson to get a sixpence worth of gingerbread. Barber objected, saying that he did not have the sixpence. The brothers offered to chip in, and when they handed him the money he put it in his pocket, said he was not hungry, and would not buy any gingerbread.
