Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 377-378:
Lewis Malott, a descendant of one of the first settlers of Gosfield South, County of Essex, resides on land owned by Peter Malott, the original settler.
     Joseph Malott, his grandfather, the eldest son of Peter Malott the settler, was born on Grosse Ile Aug. 11, 1792. He married Aug. 10, 1813, Mary McKinzie, who was born Sept. 28, 1792, and died April 16, 1854. Joseph Malott died Jan. 20, 1866. He inherited from his father Lots 6 and 7, Gosfield South, and farmed successfully. He is remembered for his great activity in church affairs, having served as local preacher for many years and started many Methodist meetings that later became congregations. His children were as follows: John, born July 17, 1814, now deceased, married Octavia Smith, and they had children - Joseph, of Detroit; Elizabeth, who married George Cooper; Mary, who married Archibald Murphy; Job, deceased; and Albert, deceased. Eliza, born Aug. 17, 1819, now deceased, married William Drake, being his first wife. William, father of our subject, was born Sept. 17, 1822. Christeen, born March 1, 1826, died Sept. 9, 1898; she married Jasper Golden, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere. Jane, born July 7, 1831, married Abel Cascadden, of Gosfield South.
     Capt. William Malott, father of Lewis Malott, was born Sept. 27, 1822, and grew up in Gosfield South. When a young man he began sailing on the lakes, and later built a dock on the lake front of the home property, during the American Civil War shipping wheat and other produce. After the close of the war wheat was shipped directly to England, but this did not prove a paying venture. He engaged quite extensively in marine traffic, and sailed as master of his vessels for some years. The vessels he had built on his home property, and they were four in number: 'Wave," "Eureka," "Alzora," and "Antelope." In time he left the home place and moved to Kingsville, there building a dock. Still later he sold his dock property to the government at the time he became harbormaster. He was a member of the first Masonic lodge organized in County Essex, and a charter member of the Kingsville branch, serving as its secretary. When, some time after its organization, interest in the lodge seemed to lag, he exerted himself to revive it, and succeeded beyond his fondest expectations. Capt. Malott became captain of the 74th Battalion, Essex Militia, and in 1856 received his commission from Governor-General Sir Edward Head. During his long and honorable career he was a strong Conservative. His death occurred at Kingsville, March 5, 1890.
     Capt. Malott married Mary Jane Scratch, who was born March 10, 1827, daughter of Squire John Scratch, and died March 30, 1895. The family born of this marriage was as follows: Lewis is mentioned below. Arthur, proprietor of the laundry at Kingsville, married Fannie Bassett, and has three children, Nellie, Lucy and Mary. Blanche married Philip Fox, and died at the age of twenty years. John, who resides at Detroit, married Norah Black. Christina, second wife of Philip Fox, has two children, Milburn and Norah. Hester died at the age of twenty-eight years. Albert is a resident of Kingsville.
Lewis Malott was born on Lot 7, Gosfield South, Aug. 8, 1846. He enjoyed the advantages of a public school education, and as a young man began sailing the lakes with his father, and has since given much of his attention to marine matters. He received a master's commission on Sept. 26, 1892, since which time he has given only a portion of his time to the water, having an attractive property on the lake shore, which is a portion of his grandfather's estate, and where he has made his home since 1869. This property consists of twenty-two acres, in a high state of cultivation. His home is most delightfully located, and during the summer months it is filled with boarders who recognize it as a charming resort.
     In 1869 Mr. Malott married Althea, daughter of Jacob Wigle, a very prominent man of the township, and to them have come children as follows: Gordon S., born March 19, 1873, is a pen artist of rare ability, employed by the Peninsular Engraving Co.; he married Euphemia Robertson. William J., born March 13, 1875, has been for the past two years proprietor of a jewelry business in Toronto. Edward, born May 24, 1877, died in January, 1888. Emma J., born April 11, 1881, is at home. Nina, born Nov. 16, 1883, is a student at Windsor Model School. Allen R., born Jan. 20, 1887, and Hazel, born Sept. 28, 1891, are at home.
     Mr. Malott is a Conservative in politics, but has never taken a active part in local affairs. In June, 1870, he joined the Masonic fraternity, and has since taken a very active interest in the welfare of that organization, serving for seven years as secretary. He and his family are consistent members of the Methodist church of Kingsville. Few men are more highly esteemed throughout the township than Mr. Malott, who has a host of warm personal friends, not only in County Essex, but throughout the country.
