Morse Daughter of Theodore Malott and Elizabeth Hanna Quick Malott *** Info re parents and Sarah Malott: ALMANSON MALOTT, a farmer and fruit grower of Mersea township, belongs to one of the highly respected old families of the County of Essex. The founders of this family came from Maryland to Canada in the persons of a widow with her three sons and two daughters, namely: Peter, David and Theodore, and Catherine and Delilah. David Malott settled near St. Catharines, Ont.; Peter married Mary Jones, who was a captive among the Indians, and they were the progenitors of the numerous Malotts of Kingsville and Gosfield townships; and Theodore settled in Gosfield township, near the Mersea line, and became the founder of the branch of the family with which this sketch is concerned. Theodore Malott owned 400 acres of land and engaged extensively in farming, devoting his whole life to the cultivation of his fields. He married into the Wigle family, one of the oldest and most prominent families of this section, Catherine, daughter of John Wendel Wigle, becoming his wife. Extended mention of the various prominent members of the Wigle family will be found in other parts of this work. The children of Theodore and Catherine Malott were: Joseph, Thomas, Peter, Judith, John, Sarah, Wendel, Theodore, Catherine, William and David. Theodore Malott of the above family, obtained such meager schooling as the time and place afforded. When ready to establish a home of his own, he settled also in Mersea township on a tract of 100 acres of land, near the Gosfield line, built here a log house and began the clearing of his farm, an undertaking of no little moment, requiring months of the hardest kind of labor. He was a good farmer, and was a pioneer in the tobacco growing industry. In politics he was a Conservative, and he was elected to the office of reeve in his township, and for a number of years was a justice of the peace. In Mersea township he married Elizabeth Quick, daughter of Cornelius Quick. Both died in advanced age on this farm, he at the age of seventy -seven, and both were buried in Lake View cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Malott were among the early members of the Methodist Church, to which they were attached all their lives. They had five children: Sarah Jane, wife of G. A. Morse, of Leamington; Darius Nelson; David Enoch, deceased; Huldah Ann, who married Lucian Morse, and both are deceased ; and Robert Wigle, living on the 1st Concession. Capt. Darius Nelson Malott, son of Theodore and father of Almanson, passed his youth until the age of eighteen years, much the same way as did his father, only surrounded by a little easier conditions, and then took up a seafaring life. His first experience was as an able sea- man, on the schooner “Ellen Park,” a grain vessel on Lake Erie. His next sailing was on the schooner “Conductor,” partly owned and commanded by Capt. Joseph Fox, who was engaged in the grain trade sailing to Montreal. In that Northern city the youth secured passage on a vessel going to England, in which he reached London. There he shipped on a British merchantman bound for Van Dieman’s Land, where he left his vessel, and started into gold digging. Finding that experience was needed in order to succeed in that business, he returned to the sea, and, as a ship was leaving short of hands for Ching Chee Island to gather guano for sale in London, he went again as a seaman, finally securing a berth on another vessel which brought him to Quebec. He then went to Detroit and shipped on board the bark “Sonora,” as master, which was owned by Bissel & Davidson, and was freighting between Chicago and Buffalo. Later he became master of the schooner “Augusta,” and sailed for a season on Lakes Huron, Michigan and Erie. His next engagement was on the barque “Ravenna,” owned by Bissel & Davidson, plying between Detroit and Cleveland. Capt. Malott then made two trips to England with copper ore, and upon his return from the second trip, took charge of the schooner “Mojave,” owned by the same firm, which was plying between Chicago and Buffalo. This vessel was lost on Lake Michigan during a heavy storm in 1864, neither captain nor crew ever being found. He was a man noted for his hardihood and bravery in time of danger, and desperate, indeed, must have been the case when his skill and seamanship could not save either lives or property. In politics he was a Liberal, and fraternally he was a Mason. Capt. Malott married Mary A. Robson, daughter of Thomas Robson, and she still survives, residing on the homestead farm, carefully cherished by her son. She has long been a consistent member of the Baptist Church. The four children of this marriage were: Theodore, who died in 1882; Ada, who married James Bradford, and died in 1892; Almanson; and Loretta, who died young. Almanson Malott was born on the homestead, and was deprived of the care of his father while a child. He was carefully reared by his excellent mother, and was given fair educational opportunities in the Leamington schools. Mr. Malott has always resided on this farm, and has been very successful in his efforts at fruit and tobacco growing. lie has made a specialty of peaches, having sixteen acres devoted to this luscious fruit and finding a ready market. In Leamington Mr. Malott married Sabina Williams, daughter of Peter and Mary Williams, and one little daughter, Mary Erma, died in infancy. He is fraternally connected with the I.O.O.F.', and the A.O.U.W., both of Leamington, and belongs also to the Fruit Growers’ Association, and to the Mersea Township Agricultural Society. Mr. Malott is a worthy representative of a fine old family, and has the respect and consideration always given a man of industry, sobriety and kind and genial manner.
