Thomas Shepard purchased  Lot 15 Concession I West which was the south-west corner of Yonge & Shepard in 1824 which was previously owned by Thomas Hill who had a Tavern there & there seems to have been an owner in between Thomas Hill & Thomas Shepard. Thomas Shepard built the Golden Lion Inn which seems to be also known as Mr. Shepards Tavern.
      Golden Lion Inn was used as a meeting place for Mackenzie's Reformers in the 1837 Rebellion. Dec 1837 Thomas was captured at Silverthorne House after burning the Don Bridge & sent to Fort Henry in Kingston. He escaped & came to the United States.
