Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 636-637:
Michael J. Malott, a prosperous farmer of Mersea township, was born on
the farm he now occupies, which is a part of the original Malott homestead, Lot 237, Talbot Road, May 3, 1838, son of Joseph and Barbara (Fox) Malott...
Michael J. Malott attended the old log school house of the township, and has spent his entire life upon the homestead, to which he is very much attached. His life has been spent in developing his property, and building up his community, and he is naturally regarded as one of the leading men of the township. Mr. Malott has taken an active part in public affairs, having served a year as deputy reeve of Mersea township, eleven years as a member of the township council, and two years as assessor, also holding other lesser offices. He and his family attend the Methodist Church, in which they are very popular.
On Jan. 8, 1858, Mr. Malott was married in Mersea township to Lydia Wiper, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Wilkinson) Wiper. Mrs. Malott was born in Mersea township, Feb. 28, 1840, and is a most excellent housekeeper and devoted wife and mother. The children who came of this marriage were: Clara, born July 8, 1859, married Samuel G. Roach, and had eight children, Stanley, Eva, Harry, Willis, Jay, Ada, Loa and Iva. Clarence, born March 31, 1860, married Eliza Collison, and has three living children, Mary, Howard and Harold. Mary, born May 10, 1863, died in 1880. Alma, born May 19, 1865, married James Linsay, and has one son, Clinton R. Flora, born April 27, 1867, married Adolphus Roach. Rebecca, born March 24, 1869, married Sylvestor Roach, and had children, Lillie (deceased), Reuben, Dessie, Mildred and Eva. Jessie, born April 11, 1871, married Davison Preston, and had three children, Harry, Cliford and Mary. Nettie, born July 15, 1873, married Wesley Derbyshire, and had five children, Dora, Vera, Clinton, Letha and Stella. Cornelia was born Dec. 25, 1876. Mary and two other children died in infancy.
Thomas Wiper, the father of Mrs. Malott, was born in England, but came to Canada in early manhood, locating in Mersea township, where he engaged in farming. He was twice married, Mrs. Malott being a child by the second marriage. The other children by the second marriage were: Robert, Rachel and William (twins), Henry, Margaret and Francis, all living except William. By his first marriage Mr. Wiper had children as follows: Dorothy and Mary; Thomas, Hannah, Charlotte and Caroline, deceased. Mrs. Malott's mother was also twice married, and by her first marriage, to James Campbell, she had one son, John James, deceased. Both parents of Mrs. Malott died in Mersea township, and their remains were interred in the burying ground on the homestead.
Mr. and Mrs. Malott are both members of old pioneer families, and they have themselves borne their part in the development of the town and county, having witnessed and participated in many changes. Mr. Malott is a man widely known and highly respected, not only as farmer, but also as an official, and as one of the solid, reliable men of his community, well-informed upon current topics, and well able to bear his part in the conduct of affairs. His wife has many friends throughout the neighbourhood, and both make their friends welcome at their pleasant home, where they are exceptionally good hosts.
