Malott. The record of this family in the Dominion of Canada begins with the migration of three brothers and two sisters, Peter, Theodore, David, Catherine and Delilah Malott, who made their way to Detroit soon after the close of the Revolutionary War, in 1783...
     Peter Malott was married at Detroit to Mary Jones... We find that in 1777 there lived near Morgantown, Monongalia, West Virginia, Jacob Jones and his family...[story about Mary and her brother John being captured and held by Indians]...Mary Jones was with the Wyandotte tribe ten years, at the age of twenty coming to Detroit... the young couple settled on Grosse Ile, living there for about one year, when an old soldier had a U.E. right in the township of Gosfield offered to dispose of same for a cow. At that time cows were scarce, and of considerable value, but after due consideration the trade was made, and Peter Malott, with his wife and child, came to the new holding, Lots 4 and 5, on the lake, where they passed the remainder of their days...
     Peter and Mary (Jones) Malott were the parents of six children, namely: Joseph, Sarah, Mary, Theodore, Ann and Peter. Of these, Joseph, born on Grosse Ile, grew up in Gosfield and came into possession of Lots 6 and 7, in that township. He was a prominent member of the Methodist Church, in which he served many years as a local preacher, being well known as a fluent speaker. Frequently he walked to Sandwich to conduct services, and it is said that in wet weather he often arrived at the house of worship with his Bible wet in his coat pocket. He married Mary McKenzie, and they had two sons and three daughters. Sarah, born Oct. 16, 1794, died young. Mary, born July 9, 1796, became the wife of James Wilkinson, and resided in Gosfield. Theodore, born April 9, 1799, died in childhood. Ann, born July 1, 1801, married John Williams, and one of their sons, Peter, resides in Leamington, Ontario.
     Peter Malott, the youngest of the family, was born March 13, 1804, in the log house on Lot 4, Gosfield township, and was eleven years old when his father died. He early began the work of clearing and cultivating the land, and passed his entire life on the homestead, which came into his possession, becoming one of the thrify and properouse farmers of his section. The log house in which he was born was his home for many years after his marriage, all his children having been born there, and it was succeeded by a frame dwelling 25 x 35 feet in dimensions, which is still standing, though it has been removed from the original site and is not now used as a residence. Mr. Malott took an active part in the affairs of his day, serving in the rebellion of 1837-38, and was present at the fighting around Amherstburg, at that time being a teamster. Later he became an officer in the local military company, and he was a prominent figure at the annual June drills, for many years holding a major's commission. He was also prominent in the religious life of his community, being a conscientious member of the Methodist Church. Before a church was built religious services had been held in his father's house, and he was active in the erection of the brick church in Kingsville in 1846, and served as trustee of that church for many years. In politics he was a stanch Tory, and he was deeply concerned in the public welfare, doing all in his power, during the fifteen years he served as councillor, to advance the interests of his township. He passed away May 21, 1882.
     Peter Malott was married at the McCormick place, in Colchester, Sept. 24, 1822, to Julianna Wigle, who was born June 4, 1805, daughter of John Wigle, and died May 21, 1882. To this union where born ten children: (1) Ann (deceased) married Peter McDonald, and two of her sons still live in the vicinity. (2) Jane, the widow of Angus McDonald, lives in Kingsville. (3) Mary is the wife of Solomon Fox, of Kingsville. (4) Susan died when eighteen months old. (5) Ezra is mentioned more fully below. (6) John J. is mentioned below. (7) Eliza, widow of William G. Fox, makes her home in Kingsville. (8) Leonard is mentioned below. (9) Elizabeth, wife of Solomon Iler, died Aug. 22, 1899. (10) Delight is the widow of John S. Middaugh, of Kingsville, who died Oct. 19, 1904.
     Ezra Malott was born June 7, 1833, in the log house on the home place in the township of Gosfield South, and there grew to manhood. He had such advantages as the common schools of the time afforded, attending under Master McMurray and later under Col. King, and was reared to farming, which has been his life work. At the age of twenty-two years he started for himself on a farm of sixty-five acres in Lot 3, some thirty acres of which had been cleared. This tract he entirely cleared and improved, residing there until his removal to the village of Kingsville in 1890. Meantime he worked and prospered, buying other land in the township as he was able, and he now ownes a part of Lot 4, as well as a place of 100 acres in the 3d Concession. Mr. Malott has, however, been more than an industrious farmer. He has been a useful citizen, always taking a lively interest in public affairs, served some years as school trustee, and was a township councillor for twelve years in succession. His political support has been given to the Conservative party.
     In 1854 Mr. Malott was united in marriage with Jeanette Fox, daughter of Michael Fox, and to this union have come three children: Mina, born March 20, 1855, is the wife of William Cilkenson(?), of Kingsville. Nora, born May 22, 1858, is the wife of Arthur R. Ferris, of Harrow, and they have two sons, Ezra G. and Sidney E. Sarah, born March 5, 1862, is the wife of Hugh Scratch, of Kingsville. Mr. Malott and his family are members of the Kingsville Methodist Church. Socially he is quite prominent in this section as a member of the I.O.O.F., which he joined in 1873, becoming a charter member of the lodge organized at Ruthven at that time. He has since assised in organizing a number of lodges in the County of Essex, including those at Kingsville, Amherstburg, Comber, Leamington, Woodslee and Harrow.

     John J. Malott was born Nov. 27, 1835, on the old Malott homestead, where he grew to manhood. When he came of age he received a share of the homestead lands and began farming for himself, and later he bought part of his sister's share, still holding seventy-two acres of the homestead property. He lives on Lot 4, and now occupies the second house which he put up on the farm, a substantial brick structure, erected in 1877. For a number of years he engaged in milling in connection with his agricultural pursuits, in 1866 building a sawmill at Kingsville, and two years later adding a gristmill, and he did a general milling business for fifteen years, when he sold it. In recent years he bought forty-seven and a half acres on the north part of the old farm, which he has given to one of his sons, and he owns a place of 100 acres in another part of the township besides his own farm. Of late years Mr. Malott has turned much of the responsibility over to the younger generation, because of ill health, but during his active life he was very progressive in all his undertakings, and in addition to general crops successfully engaged in tobacco and fruit raising. He has been quite active in the public life of his locality as a leading member of the Conservative party, and has served eleven years as councilor in Kingsville, eight years at one time and three at another. He is a member of the I.O.O.F., at Kingsville, having joined the order at Ruthven some thirty-three years ago.

     Leonard Malott was born on the home place Aug. 1, 1842, and received his education in the public schools of the neighbourhood. After his marriage he lived three years on the home place, in 1870 moving to Kingsville, where he has ever since had his home. In that year he built a sash and door factory on Main street, and for twenty-six years carried on that business, selling machinery when he retired from that line. The building is still standing. In addition to his Kingsville property he has seventy-five acres of the homestead farm, sixty-four acres in Lot 6, and fifty acres in Concession 5, and farms extensively. Like the other members of his family he has been prominent in the public affairs of his locality, and is now serving his fourth year as councillor of Kingsville. For the past twelve years he has been a vice-president of the South Essex Reform Association. Fraternally he affiliates with the Masons and United Workmen, and he was a charter member of Beaver Lodge, I.O.O.F., but of late years has not been active in the latter organization.
