Notes - Thompson moved from Nassagaweya in Halton County, Ontario to Fergus in Wellington County, Ontario in 1842 when Thompson was 14 years of age. This is the same year that his father died, so it is presumed that Thompson's mother and many of the other siblings of Thompson probably also moved to Fergus. Thompson worked for Argo and William Patterson as a clerk for nine years. In 1866 he went into business for himself as a store owner.
"The family lived in a little stone cottage in Fergus and operated the store on the main street for 18 years. Then as the family were growing and needing more space, Thompson bought the Fergusson farm adjoining Fergus, which became known as Westwood Farm. They worked the farm for two years, built the lovely stone house on the property, making what was little better than wasteland into a productive and beautiful home."
