Thomas Morris, the owner of a large stock farm in Gosfield North, Lot 296, in the County of Essex ... was born in Lincolnshire, England, Feb. 6, 1837.
     John Morris, father of Thomas, was a native of Yorkshire, born in 1806, and his wife, Mary (Brimfield) Morris, was ten years younger. They left England in 1840 ... and settled down to farming life in that new country in Tilbury West...
     Thomas Morris grew up on his father's farm, and received his early education in Tilbury West. While still quite young he began sailing on the lakes, and during his six years of sea-faring life earned enough to buy land and start as a farmer...
     In 1862 Mr. Morris was joined in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Julia Williams, born in Gosfield, Aug. 10, 1842, daughter of Thomas and Isabella (Wigle) Williams, who were among the earliest pioneers in the county, and had a farm on the Talbot Road. Mr. and Mrs. Morris are the parents of the following five children: (1) Gordon F., born in 1864, who married Miss Lizzie Hopgood, of Gosfield, resides on a part of his father's homestead, and has six children...

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 217-218:
David Hopgood, who is well located on Lot 277, Talbot Road South, Gosfield North, County of Essex, is a prosperous farmer and a true son of Canada, having been born on his present farm, March 22, 1855, son of James and Eliza (Jones) Hopgood.
     James Hopgood was born in England in 1809, and the mother in 1811. She was a daughter of James Jones, who came to Canada and settled on the Talbot Road in the County of Essex. The same sailing vessel which brought the Jones family to the Dominion, brought also young James Hopgood, and the acquaintance then begun resulted in marriage after landing in Canada. The young couple settled in Huron County for two years, and then came to Talbot street, where Mr. Hopgood bought 100 acres of land of a Mr. Cummiford. A few words will suffice to tell that this wild land was cleared and later cultivated, but they give little idea of the toil and perseverance necessary to transform the wilderness into the good farm which Mr. Hopgood later possessed, and lived long enough to enjoy. His death took place Oct. 9, 1877, and that of his widow in October, 1889. They were most worthy, pious people, founders of the Methodist Church, and were both respected and beloved. Politically Mr. Hopgood favored the principles of the Reform party, but never aspired to office, contenting himself with his private business and the care of his family. The children born to James Hopgood and his wife were as follows: ... Henry, born in the County of Essex, married Susan Robinson, and they settled on a farm in Maidstone township, where he died in 1893, leaving his widow with four children, Arthur, Alexander, Elizabeth and Adeline, the last named since deceased...
