Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, Toronto, 1905, p. 299-300:
Frederick A. Scratch, of Gosfield South, County Essex, is one of the well-known members of the old and honorable pioneer family of that name, and is a son of Henry Ryan Scratch and grandson of Peter Scratch.
      Peter Scratch was born Nov. 29, 1786, in Trenton, Michigan, and was a child when the family settled on the lake shore in Gosfield. At maturity he began farming on Lot 4, Eastern Division, where he erected a log house, and later built a two-story and a half brick residence. In the course of time he became the possessor of 600 acres of land, all in one tract, and in addition owned farms in Mersea township. Although he was an extensive landholder and farmed extensively, he was not intended by nature to be an agriculturist, his inclinations and talents tending toward mechanical work. He was, in fact, a genius, and when it is remembered how few and crude were the tools of that day his manufacture of guns, ... wind and power mills was certainly very ...able. He delighted to puzzle out some ... machine, and usually succeeded in putting it into working order. During the military occupation of Windsor, during the war of 1812-14, he kept the soldiers' guns in repair. Mr. Scratch laid the brick for the first brick house ever built in this section of the country. In 1831 he received his commission as postmaster of Gosfield and continued in office for a number of years, dying March 14, 1871. On May 3, 1808, he married Mary Wigle, born June 19, 1793, in Gosfield, who died June 3, 1872, and they had children as follows: John, born Nov. 14, 1810, married Sarah Saintsatin; Leonard, born Feb. 14, 1813, married (first) Elizabeth Cole, and (second) Sophia Agla; Judith, born May 25, 1815, married Oliver Kellogg; Henry Ryan, born Oct. 6, 1817, is mentioned below; Mary, born March 12, 1820, married Samuel Bentley; Joseph Benson, born Dec. 11, 1823, married Mary Black; Alpheus, born Aug. 25, 1826, married Nancy Palmer; William Ryerson, born Jan. 4, 1829, married Elizabeth Crow, and they live retired on a part of the homestead farm; Archimedes, born March 25, 1831, (deceased), married Deborah Palmer; Oliver Kellogg, born March 30, 1833, married Jane Fulmer, and lives retired in Leamington; Cyrenus Lyman, born Dec. 20, 1838, married Emma Barnett, and lives at Shelbina, Shelby County, Missouri.
