Samuel Malott, a prominent citizen of Gosfield township, County of Essex, belongs to one of the historic and interesting families of that locality...
...
On Nov. 2, 1862, Mr. Malott married Amanda McCormick, daughter of Matthew McCormick, of Colchester South...
Matthew McCormick, father of Mrs. Malott, was born May 12, 1797, on the old home place in Colchester, where he was reared with few chances for improvement, being but six years old when the death of his father obliged him to assume responsibilities far beyond his years. He continued to live on the home place until some years after his marriage, and when it came into his possession he traded it for what he considered a more desirable one on the lake. This he occupied until 1843, when he bought Lot 15, Concession 2, consisting of 200 acres of wild land. Erecting a log house Mr. McCormick occupied it until 1860, when he built a brick house, in which he lived until his death. He had cleared up a large property. A man of kindly instincts, generous and warm-hearted, he had many friends. Like his father before him, he was a worthy member of the English Church.
Mr. McCormick married Deborah Wright, who was born in Colchester, only child of Henry and Deborah (Hitchcock) Wright, and to them were born these children: Sarah, deceased wife of Henry Wigle, of Ruthven; Mary Ann, deceased wife of Samuel Thrasher; Robert, who died in Waltz, Michigan; Thomas Alexander, who removed to Calgary, Alberta Territory, where he acquired 480 acres of land, and died in 1894; Elmira, deceased, who married T. C. Munger; Hannah, who married Matthew Adams, of Colchester South; Theron, who owns the east half of the old homestead; Amanda, wife of Mr. Malott; Louisa Jane, deceased, who married Cyrus Wigle, of Ruthven; and George, who owns the west half of the old homestead.

Thomas L. Wright, one of the prominent representative farmers of Colchester South, County Essex, belongs to one of the old pioneer families, the founder of which was Henry Wright.
Henry Wright was born and reared in England and in young manhood emigrated to America with a brother, locating at Rutland, Pennsylvania, where the brother remained permanently. Henry married in that State Mary Klingensmith, and when troubles arose between the Colonies and the Mother Country he decided to remove to English soil. With his family he located first on Grosse Ile, but later removed to Malden, when he learned the former land did not belong to Great Britain, and still later he moved to the lake shore, where he took up land in Lots 80 and 76. He and his wife were buried on this farm. They were the parents of the following children: William married Betsey Lipps; Philip married (first) Miss Dowler, and (second) Delilah Malott; Henry married (first) Miss Hitchcock, by whom he had one daughter, Deborah, who married Matthew McCormick, and he married (second) Hannah Lipps; Thomas married (first) Jennie Little, (second) Mary Leighton, and (third) Abbie Larabie; Betsy married John Brush; Mary married Asa Wilcox; Mattie married Samuel Watson; Katie married Henry Lipps....
