  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./
      CONJECTURE: The use of the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid and the LDS 1881 Canadian census allowed the finding of the approximate birthdates of son's, Thomas Jr. (1822), and William (1818), who are both buried at St. John's Anglican Church in Bond Head, Simcoe, Ontario. The significance in this finding is that Thomas Jr is listed as being born in Ontario, while William's birth is listed as being in Ireland. The emigration of Thomas Thompson Sr. and his family is therefore predicted to be between 1818 and 1822. QED by RAM.

      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. (auth)

      Cannot explain the Unknown John Thompson. but Robert, William and Thomas seem to be close enough to be the sons of Thomas Thompson b. 1789. (ram2002)
