Peter Upcott, one of the members of the council of Gosfield South, is a member of one of the old and substantial families of Essex County.
     Grandfather John Ridge Upcott was a native of England, where he was reared and where he married Miss Mariah Smale. He was a tradesman of London, and plied his craft at the East India dock, from which point he set sail for America with his wife and family. For a time he made his home in various places in the United States, including Ohio, and finally moved to Colchester, County of Essex, Ont., settling on the old McCormick farm. In 1831 he came to Gosfield, and took up seventy acres in Lot 260, Talbot Road North. This land was wild, and he endured the many privations incident to pioneer life. He built a log house some three rods east of the present dwelling, in which he died, Dec. 16, 1854, aged seventy-six years, eight months, twenty-five days. His wife died several years before, at the age of sixty-one years, three months, six days, March 1, 1848. Some time after his original purchase he added 100 acres to his holdings, but much of the clearing of it, and the payments, fell upon his sons. There were thirteen children in the family, but only the following survived infancy: Maria, who is now deceased; Elizabeth, Mrs. James Taylor; Ann, who died young; Louisa, who married Wendel Malott; Matilda, who married first Augustus Dustin and second George Cowan; Thomas, who married Rachael Hickmott; Jane, who married Peter Bruner; and John.
     John Upcott, father of Peter, was born in Colchester, Aug. 28, 1829. He was two years old when the family settled on the Talbot Road, where he was reared to manhood. In time he came into possession of the home place, when little of it was cleared, but he worked on it and made many improvements. He died April 20, 1875. On Jan. 16, 1849, he married Rebecca Malott, a member of one of the old families of this locality, and the family born to this union was as follows: Elizabeth, born Jan. 3, 1850, married Alfred Ryall and died at the age of fifty-one years. Maria married Robert Neville, of North Dakota. Jane (deceased) married Raymer Wigle. Henry, who resides in Michigan, married Rachel Motley. Louisa (deceased) married William Pulford. Caroline married Elias Coalthorp, of North Dakota. Peter is mentioned below. William married Fanny Nash, of Mersea, and carries on the homestead. Minnie married Ambrose Foster, of Romney township. Richard married Hattie Whittle, and is deceased. Florence married Harry Whittle of Bottineau, North Dakota.
     John Upcott, the father, was a very energetic and capable man, and in addition to clearing off his property and farming owned and operated a grist and saw mill at Cottam, which was afterward burned; he also did considerable ditching. His loss was deeply felt in the community.
     Peter Upcott was born Jan. 30, 1862, on Lot 260, and received a good common-school education...
