Notes:

NOTE 1./
5-05-02: Searched the entire LDS Canadian 1881 census for Annie (Ann) and then Jane Thompson with a husband named Robert. There were about 4 returns on Anne, 2 returns on Jane, for a total of about 4 of which were in Northern Ontario, but none matched any of the childrens names on record of; Ben, Alexander Cecil or Will. Possible re-evaluation looking for Annie Jane as a widow, living with a son named Ben or Alexander or Will. If found living with a daughter, nothing could be confirmed since there is no record of a daughter from this union.

NOTE 2./ LISTS OF THE PIONEERS
This is a list of approximately 1800 names of settlers before the year 1837. It is an appendix to the book "The History of Simcoe County" by Andrew F. Hunter. I found it necessary to add verbatim his narrative about the list and the problems that arose in preparing the list. I strongly suggest you read it before viewing the list.

Cannot explain the Unknown John Thompson. but Robert, William ans Thomas seem to be close enough to be the sons of Thomas Thompson b. 1789.
