In search of more land, in 1875 William purchased 250 acres in Arthur Township, in the northern part of Wellington County, Ontario. The young family initially moved into the existing log/frame house, but by 1882, William was able to build a nine room, frame/brick veneer house. William continued to be active in the cheese making business and was among a group of farmers who set up the Cotswold and Rothsay cheese factories, both in operation by 1880. Three more children were born in Arthur Township.

In 1902, James, William and Elizabeth's oldest son, took over the day to day operation of the Arthur farm. At about the same time William and Elizabeth bought another farm just outside of Palmerston, Ontario, which was eventually taken over by their second son Frederick. The Arthur farm passed out of the hands of the Mallett family in the 1970s, but the Palmerston farm is still actively farmed by Fred's descendants.

Two of the four daughters married; Agnes to William Thomson, and Caroline ("Carrie") to Howard McGill. The Thomsons were farmers near Woodstock, Ontario. Howard McGill was with the Canadian Post Office, and eventually became the Postmaster in London, Ontario, where the family settled.

Elizabeth died in 1909, William in 1920. Both are buried in the Palmerston cemetery.
