Birth:
Since he was age 77 when he died on September 18, 1880, his birth year was calculated as circa 1803.

Birth:
William's birthdate was calculated by Cecil Holmes Thompson from his age at death on his gravestone. The gravestone said that he died aged 77 years, 1 month, 10 days on September 18, 1880.

Marriage:
There is a reference to the 1831 marriage of a William Thompson in Freshford in the Dublin Record Office.

Residence:
At the time of his marriage, William was recorded as being "of Rahan, Co. Kilkenny". Since Cecil has put a question mark here, it is possible that Rahan could be in Queens County.

Residence:
The farms were "five miles south of Caledonia and one mile east of the Grand River".

Religion:
When Seneca Village was being established, its people sought a place to worship. "In 1838 there was a Walpole Mission of the Wesleyan methodists and it included a congregation at Seneca on the Grand River.
The Wesleyan Methodists met in the schoolhouse which was at the north-west corner of Onondaga Street and Argyle Streets [Caledonia]. In 1848 Thomas Cosford, the Minister, was stationed in Seneca. The lost 13, 14, and 15 on the north-west corner of Tuscarora Street and Argyle Street were acquired and the manse was built there.
The congregation met in the schoolhouse until 1844 when a church was built on land which the congregation had previously obtained on King William Street. The lot was 2 chains by 3 chains. There were burials there before the church was built. In 1878, the Wesleyan Methodist built a new church in Caledonia, which is now Grace United Church. The original church at Seneca was sold. There were burials in the cemetery until almost 1900."

Residence:
Seneca Village was established before 1835. "When a dam and lock known as number four were built at Seneca, and navigation commenced in 1835, enterprising men built mills there to make use of the available water power, and as a result a flourishing village of about 140 inhabitants was established.
Jacob Turner, a contractor for the Grand River Navigation Co., had a saw mill, James B. Holden operated a grist mill and Alpheus D. Mackey had a wool carding mill and cloth factory. James Little opened the post office on January 6, 1839, which he ran there until 1846 when he and the post office moved to Caledonia.
In 1846 there was also a planing machine, chair factory, two stores, three taversn, a physician, a cabinet maker, three shoemakers, three blacksmiths, one turner and a tailor.
Seneca Village met the same fate as many other hamlets because the plank road went through Caledonia, the railway by-passed the Village, floods destroyed the dam and bridge and navigation on the river ceased."

Residence:
William was living in Haldimand County. He was listed on the Haldimand County collector's roll for 1837. His brother, Jacob Thompson, was listed as well. William paid 1 shilling, 8 pence for the District Tax, and 9 pence for the 'Members Wage', for a total assessment of 2 shillings, 5 pence.

Henry MAY died sometime after 1858 - likely around 1865 - in Toronto.

_TODO:
Henry May died June 1, 1856, buried June 10, 1856 in Necropolis. Look to actural copies of burial records in Necropolis. Photograph gravestone. Was he originally buried in Potter's Field, then transferred to Necropolis?

Birth:
Since Henry was age 30 on September 18, 1844 when he landed in New York, his birth year was calculated as circa 1814.

Residence:
His daughter, Clementina May, was born around this time, since she was age 75 when she died on June 29, 1917.

Immigration:
The Captain of the ship was William H. Allan. The ?i?Virginia?/i? had left Liverpool. Henry was accompanied by his wife, 3 children, and his mother-in-law, Mary Henderson. Henry was describes as age 30, male, a servant, from Ireland, and going to the United States. He was not on the same page of the Manifest as his family. His last name was written as if it was spelled "Mayer" or "Mayes".

Occupation:
The address was 28 Yonge Street. The numbering began at the "Bay" (lakeshore) with the even numbers on the east side of Yonge Street. [Was this his store or his home, or both?]

Occupation:
The County Jail was situated at the foot of Berkeley Street at the Lake Shore. It was capable of accommodating 60 male prisoners, 25 female prisoners, and 15 debtors. The average number in prison was 75. The hours of admittance for visitors were from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Chief Gaoler was John Kidd. The turnkeys were Henry May, James Boyan, and Samuel Beatty.

Residence:
This might not be the same 'Henry May'. Also living on the same lot is "George May".

Family:
Henry was probably the person who made the arrangements for the burial of his mother-in-law, Mary Henderson, to be buried in Potter's Field Cemetery, since she was described in the Potter's Field Cemetery records as "mother-in-law of Henry May".

Residence:
The house was owned by James Nunan.

Henry married Ellen HENDERSON in 1835 in Ossory Diocese, Ireland. Ellen (daughter of Mary) was born about 1819 in Ireland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
