Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 498-499:
Samuel Malott, a prominent citizen of Gosfield township, County of Essex, belongs to one of the historic and interesting families of that locality, and its story is of three brothers, Peter, Theodore and David, who, with two sisters, Catherine and Deliah, made their way to Detroit soon after the close of the American Revolution.

     Theodore Malott came to Gosfield township in 1794, locating in the eastern part of the township on Lot 13, and also acquiring land in Mersea township. He built a log home and began clearing, which he carried on until his death at the age of fifty-four years, and he was interred in a corner of the old orchard on the home place. For many years he was a local preacher in the Methodist church, and was widely known for his exemplary life and his good deeds. He married Catherine Wigle, a member of another of the prominent families, and to them were born: ... Peter, the father of our subject...
     Peter Malott, father of our subject, was born May 11, 1803, on Lot 13, Gosfield township, and grew up on the home place, his boyhood being given over to the clearing and cultivating of the land. He enjoyed few educational opportunities, but did, for a limited period, attend Master McMurry's school. When he became of age, he drew a Govenment lot on Talbot Street, where he resided some years. In 1834 he sold that place and bought the property where our subject now resides, consisting of 134 acres in Lot 19, Concession 1, Western Division... In 1864 he gave up active farming and moved to Cottam, where he died May 10, 1881. He took part in the military occurrences of the locality, and was present at the taking of the schooner "Ann" in 1837.

Her parents settled on Cedar Creek in 1806, when she was a year and a half old; she died May 14, 1892, aged eighty-seven years. Their children were as follows: ...
