His father came to Gordon County, GA from York County, SC in the early 1870's.

His Wright lineage extends back to Bolling Wright (1759-1841) who served in the Revolutionary War from Virginia and who was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Arch was married to Emma Rachel Strain on 1 February 1903 in Gordon County, Georgia. They are the parents of five children (see Biography of Emma Rachel Strain Currence).
