Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 425-426:
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...
     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...      Peter Upcott was born Jan. 30, 1862, on Lot 260, and received a good common-school education. At the age of seventeen years he began working on the homestead farm, thus continuing for nine years. In February, 1894, he bought forty-seven acres in Lot 260, Talbot Road South, about one-half of which was cleared and here he has erected substantial barns and other out-buildings, and in 1902 put up a handsome brick house, just opposite the site of his birth. In addition to this farm Mr. Upcott owns other lands, and is justly accorded a prominent place among the wealthy farmers of County Essex. Politically he is a Reformer, and at present is an active member of the township council. He is an attendant upon the services and supporter of the Universalist Church at Olinda, Ont. His social affiliations are with the Woodmen at Ruthven, Foresters at Cottam, and I.O.O.F at Ruthven, and he is exceedingly popular in all these organizatios.
     With the exception of three years spent in the North-West Territory Mr. Upcott has lived in County Essex, and has great faith in the future of this portion of Ontario. While in the North-West Territory, he was first employed on Government surveys, and then on construction work by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company.
     In 1889 Mr. Upcott was married to Carrie Ann Orton, who was born Jan. 12, 1869, daughter of Prideaux and Esther (Whittle) Orton, of Gosfield, where the former was a farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Upcott have had the following children born to them: Mable Floy, Lawrence John, Stanley Prideaux, Florence Hazel and Everett Elwood, all bright, promising young people, the pride of their parents' hearts. The three eldest attend school. Mr. and Mrs. Upcott are very popular among their neighbours, and he is highly esteemed for his business acumen, strict integrity and excellent management, while personally he makes many friends by his genial, pleasing manner.
