Almanson Malott, a farmer and fruit grower of Mersea township, belongs to one of the highly respected old families of the County of Essex. The founders of this family came from Maryland to Canada in the persons of a widow with her three sons and two daughters, namely: Peter, David and Theodore, and Catherine and Delilah...
Theodore Malott ... married into the Wigle family, one of the oldest and most prominent families of this section, Catherine, daughter of John Wendel Wigle, becoming his wife... The children of Theodore and Catherine Malott were: Joseph, Thomas, Peter, Judith, John, Sarah, Wendel, Theodore, Catherine, William and David.
Theodore Malott ... married Elizabeth Quick, daughter of Cornelius Quick... Mr. and Mrs. Malott were among the early members of the Methodist Church, to which they were attached all their lives. They had five children: Sarah Jane, wife of G. A. Morse, of Leamington; Darius Nelson; David Enoch, deceased; Huldah Ann, who married Lucian Morse, and both are now deceased; and Robert Wigle, living on the 1st Concession.
Capt. Darius Nelson Malott, son of Theodore and father of Almanson ... took up a seafaring life...
Capt. Malott married Mary A. Robson, daughter of Thomas Robson, and she still survives... The four children of this marriage were: Theodore, who died in 1882, Ada, who married James Bradford, and died in 18??; Almanson; and Loretta, who died young.
Almanson Malott was born on the homestead, and was deprived of the care of his father while a child. He was carefully reared by his excellent mother, and was given fair educational opportunities in the Leamington schools. Mr. Malott has always resided on this farm, and has been very successful in his efforts at fruit and tobacco growing. He has made a specialty of peaches, having sixteen acres devoted to this luscious fruit and finding a ready market.
In Leamington Mr. Malott married Sabina Williams, daughter of Peter and Mary Williams, and one little daughter, Mary Erma, died in infancy. He is fraternally connected with the I.O.O.F., and the A.O.U.W., both of Leamington, and belongs also to the Fruit Growers' Association, and to the Mersea Township Agricultural Society. Mr. Malott is a worthy representative of a fine old family, and has the respect and consideration always given a man of industry, sobriety and kind and genial manner.
