Gore Atkin, one of the pioneers of the County of Essex, and a much-esteemed citizen of Amherstburg, is of English extraction, his family fleeing to Ireland during the administration of Oliver Cromwell...
     Walter Atkin, son of Gore, was the father of our subject... His wife, who bore the maiden name of Jane Osborn, was born in County Dublin about 1784... Their children were: Samuel, deceased, a farmer in Malden; Walter and Richard, both deceased, also farmers; Gore; William, deceased, a farmer; Eliza, deceased, who married Rev. William B. Rowe, a Baptist minister in Michigan; and Mary, deceased, who married the late Dennis Lane, of Gosfield South.
     Gore Atkin was born Oct. 14, 1821, in the County of Leeds. On his return, with his father, from Illinois, he engaged in farming on the homestead place, and remained under the parental roof until twenty-four years of age, when he settled a tract of wild land in the north part of Lot 88, Concession 8, Malden township. This was a heavily timbered tract, and with much hard work he cleared it and turned it into valuable arable farms. Later he added other tracts until now he owns 191 acres, all of it situated in Malden township, and all valuable and desirable property. Mr. Atkin continued to farm until April, 1891, when he settled in Amherstburg. In politics he is a Liberal, and has occupied a prominent position in county politics. From 1864 to 1871 he was reeve for Malden, and in 1868 was county warden. He was tendered Parliamentary honors in 1875, but poor health caused him to decline, although eminently fitted to fill the responsible position.
     On Nov. 5, 1845, Mr. Atkin was married to Miss Hannah Lypps, who was born in Colchester South, March 22, 1824, and to this union have been born these children: (1) Malvina is a resident of Detroit. (2) George, also of Detroit, married Annie McGee, and their children are Charles, Francis Gore, Horace, Robert Cink (who married Lilliam Imerson), Mark, Ethel, Grace and Hannah. (3) Adeline married Francis S. Beach, of the County of Middlesex, and has three children, Francis (who married Margaret Miller and has one daughter, Doris Madeline), Kate and Harry. (4) Walter married Sarah A. McCormick, and their children are Mabel (who married Leonard Eede, and has three children, Byron Edmund, Ruby and Madeline); Gore (who married Alice Hutchins), Grace and Ellis. (5) Annie married Alexander E. McGee, and her children are Allan F., Arthur W., John S. (who married Flossie Burdick), Mary M., Margaret A. (who married Herbert Parks, and has two daughters, Marjorie and Helen), Lucy M. and Thomas Atkin. (6) Isabel, and (7) John, are both deceased. (8) Emma married Lawrence W. Shepley, a farmer in Maidstone, and their children are Beulah, Joseph Gore, Evelyn, Addie and Gladys. (9) Robert, a farmer in Malden township, married Ellen I. McGee, and has children, Maurice, Frederick, Walter, Kate, Ina and Annie. (10) Lucy lives with her parents. (11) Wellington is unmarried and lives in Malden. (12) Gore Edgar married Althea Bratt, in Malden, and their children are George D. and Ray and May, twins. Both Mr. and Mrs. Atkin are consistent members of the Methodist Church, and are among the most highly respected citizens of Amherstburg.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 531-532:
Walter Atkin, a successful young farmer of Colchester South, County of Essex, represents a family which has been identified with Malden township of County Essex for the past seventy-six years. He was born in the Atkin settlement, Malden township, March 27, 1852, son of Gore and Hannah (Lypps) Atkin.
     Gore Atkin was born in Brockville, Ont., Oct. 14, 1821, and for many years he was a local minister in the Methodist Church. He became a successful farmer, and is now living retired in Amherstburg, a quiet, honorable Christian gentleman. His wife, Hannah Lypps, was born in Colchester township, March 22, 1826. Their children were: Melvina, a trained nurse in Detroit; George, an engineer in Detroit; Adeline, wife of Frank Beach, of London, Ont., Anna, wife of Alex. McGee, of Malden township; Walter; Emma, wife of Lawrence Shipley, of Essex; Wellington, a farmer on the homestead; Gore E., on the home farm; Isabel and John, who both died in infancy; Robert, a farmer in Malden; and Miss Lucy, with her parents.
     Walter Atkin enjoyed the advantages of the home school. When he grew to maturity he engaged in lumbering, working in heavy timber. About the time of his marriage he bought a fifty-acre farm in the 4th Concession of Malden, and there resided fro some five years, when he sold the property and bought of William Woodbridge clergy reserve land consisting of eighty-three and three-fifths acres in Lots 68, 69 and 70, Colchester South. At the time of the purchase there were but fifteen or twenty acres fit for proper cultivation; twenty-five acres were in bush. He now has the entire farm in a high state of cultivation, and it is all thoroughly drained, he having spent $1,183.71 for tiles alone. Mr. Atkin carries on mixed farming, and in six years has cleared several thousand dollars on tobacco alone. In politics he is a Liberal, and in past years has taken considerable interest in party affairs. He is a member of the Workmen at Harrow, being a charter member of the lodge there, also of the Woodmen at Colchester. Both he and his family belong to the Harrow Methodist Church, and are very active in that body.
     On Dec. 8, 1877, Mr. Atkin was united in marriage with Sarah Ann McCormick, and to this union have been born: Mabel, born Dec. 13, 1878, married Leonard Eede, of this township, and has two children, Byron and Ruby; Grove, born April 17, 1879, has a farm of 100 acres in Malden; Grace, born Aug. 5, 1880, is at home; and Ellis, born Feb. 16, 1882, is at home.
