  • 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 <http://www.waynecook.com/settlers.html>
      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.

      THOMPSON, John 6 23
      THOMPSON, Robert 4 23 (S1/2)
      THOMPSON, Wm. 4 24 (S Pt)
      THOMPSON, Thomas 4 23 (N1/2)
      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.
