Obituary, Amherstburg Echo Feb. 1899, from Norma Leslie, Hickmott Family, RootsWeb WorldConnect Project:
Another of Essex pioneers has passed away after a brief but severe illness, in the person of Thomas Upcott. He was 76 years of age and had lived in the County of Essex from his childhood, whence he came with his parents from Yorkshire, England, when the county was a wilderness. He had a vivid recollection of the many changes that have transpired since he came to this county. He was on duty during the Fenian raids in the sixties. At one time he was engaged extensively in the lumbering business. The last few years he has lived with his son, John Upcott, on the 4th Concession of Mersea, Union Sideroad, where he died Monday night, February 6th. Eight children survive him: 4 sons, John, William, Robert in Mersea Twp. and Samuel of Minneapolis; and 4 daughters, Mrs. K. McKenzie of Wheatley, Mrs. Thomas Dresser of Mersea, Mrs. F.J. Byatt of Wheatley, and Miss Anna Upcott of Essex. He was a staunch Methodist and died trusting in God. The end was peaceful.

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.
     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.
