David Malott settled near St. Catherines, Ont.; Peter married Mary Jones, who was a captive among the Indians and they were the progenitors of the numerouse Malotts of Kingsville and Gosfield townships; and Theodore settled in Gosfield township, near the Mersea line, and became the founder of the branch of the family with which this sketch is concerned.
