Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 498-499:
Samuel Malott, a prominent citizen of Gosfield township, County of Essex, belongs to one of the historic and interesting families of that locality, and its story is of three brothers, Peter, Theodore and David, who, with two sisters, Catherine and Deliah, made their way to Detroit soon after the close of the American Revolution.
...
     Theodore Malott came to Gosfield township in 1794, locating in the eastern part of the township on Lot 13, and also acquiring land in Mersea township. He built a log home and began clearing, which he carried on until his death at the age of fifty-four years, and he was interred in a corner of the old orchard on the home place. For many years he was a local preacher in the Methodist church, and was widely known for his exemplary life and his good deeds. He married Catherine Wigle, a member of another of the prominent families, and to them were born: ... Peter, the father of our subject; ...
     Peter Malott, father of our subject, was born May 11, 1803, on Lot 13, Gosfield township, and grew up on the home place, his boyhood being given over to the clearing and cultivating of the land. He enjoyed few educational opportunities, but did, for a limited period, attend Master McMurry's school. When he became of age, he drew a Govenment lot on Talbot Street, where he resided some years. In 1834 he sold that place and bought the property where our subject now resides, consisting of 134 acres in Lot 19, Concession 1, Western Division, purchasing this property of William Hall, who had drawn it from the Government.
     On this property Mr. Malott built a log house which he occupied with his family until 1858, when he built, with the help of our subject, a larger house which was occupied until 1881, when the present handsome brick house was built. With the help of his sturdy sons, the father cleared the greater part of this farm. In 1864 he gave up active farming and moved to Cottam, where he died May 10, 1881. He took part in the military occurrences of the locality, and was present at the taking of the schooner "Ann" in 1837.
     In Gosfield township Peter Malott married Elizabeth La Marsh, a daughter of Samuel La Marsh. Her parents settled on Cedar Creek in 1806, when she was a year and a half old; she died May 14, 1892, aged eighty-seven years. Their children were as follows: (1) Henry resided at Kingsville until his death in 1900; he married Mary Ulch, and had two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. (2) Simon lived in Tilbury East and died there in 1898; he married Maria Dustin, and had eight children, Peter, Oliver, William, Ozias, Norman, Andrew, Matilda and Jane. (3) Catherine is the deceased wife of Moses Rose, of Gosfield. (4) Rebecca is the widow of John Upcott, and resides near Olinda. (5) Prideaux died at his home near Brooklyn, Michigan, Oct. 16, 1903, aged seventy years; he married Mary Fox, but had no children. (6) Samuel is the subject of this sketch. (7) Solomon married Fanny Clark and had two children, Andrew and Luetta; they reside in Detroit. (8) Susanna is the wife of Michael Baltzer, of Gosfield South. (9) Hannah married John Hickmott, of Gosfield South, and has had four children, Ruby (deceased), Ida (deceased), Jason and Todd. (10) Mary married, first, Henry Quine, and had four children, George, Henry, Anna and Mary; she married, second, Louis Arner, of Malden township, by whom she has no children. (11) James, of Gosfield North, married (first) Annie Mills, and had two children, Melville and Flossie; he married (second) Phoebe Reid.
     Samuel Malott was born Feb. 14, 1835, on the place where he now lives...

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, 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. 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.
