  • Notes 
    • WaIker, Thomas. - Came to Canada from Lincolnshire, England, in 1832 at the age of 8, accompanying his father and mother, being their only child. Joseph Walker, the father, immediately took up the 200 acres where Mrs. Thos. Walker now resides, but merely held the title until his son, Thomas, of this sketch, was of age to work it and which he commenced to do about 1845. In 1854 he was married to Maria Illingworth, who still survives at the ripe age of 80 years. Nine children were born to them: Sarah, Mrs. T. B. Puddicombe, William, deceased, Henry of Haysville, Joseph S., Barrister, of London, Annie M., Mrs. Geo. Veitch, Plattsville, Thos. G., on the homestead, Ida E., Mrs. John McCallum, Shakespeare, Fred J., of Stratford, Clara I., at home. The house has been the scene of much hospitality in which both Mr. and Mrs. Walker delighted.
