Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 77-78:
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.
     The first member of this family of whom there is authentic record was Gore Atkin, our subject's grandfather, who was born in Ireland, where he died in 1786. He married Elizabeth Green, who was born in Ireland in 1754, and died in 1839. He was a man of prominence in Ireland, serving as sheriff of County Wexford, and became widely known. After his death his widow married John Atkin, of the same name, but no relation. The children of the first marriage were: Walter; Samuel, who located in the County of Leeds, Ont., where he obtained government land, first following farming, later lumbering; Mary, who married Rev. William Douglas, and died in Ireland; and Eliza, who died unmarried, in County Wexford, where she owned much property.
     Walter Atkin, son of Gore, was the father of our subject. He was born in 1780, in County Wexford, Ireland, and was educated in Dublin. He owned a farm in Ireland upon which he resided with his family. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Jane Osborn, was born in County Dublin about 1784. In 1817 Walter Alkin and family came to Ontario, locating in Elizabeth township, County Leeds, where they lived for nineteen years. They then removed to Chicago, which was then a city of about 7,000, and settled on a claim in the western outskirts, but a few years later they returned to Canada, and located in Malden township, on Lot 88, Concession 8, our subject now being the owner of that property. Here Walter Atkin died in 1863, his wife having passed away in 1839. In politics he was a Conservative, and during his residence in County Leeds was a justice of the peace and was tendered Parliamentary honors by his party, but declined. In religious belief Mr. and Mrs. Atkin were Methodists. 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.
