Mary Thomson, like so many others, feared the diseases that were thought to be associated with living so close to the low-lying marshes of the Don River. In the spring of 1799 she and her husband, David, left Toronto Bay at York and walked into the Scarborough forest, along an old aboriginal trail that led northeast, likely the same trail that once led toward the Iroquois village of Ganatsekwyagon. They moved inland, setting up camp along Highland Creek, roughly two and a half miles from the cliffs. There they established their homestead, becoming Scarborough’s first permanent European settlers. This area was named Bendale in the late nineteenth century." Fairburn, M. Jane.

- Residence*: July 1796; Newark, Niagara Dist., Upper Canada; "However, David and his family did not settle initially in Scarborough. They first lived in Newark (now known as Niagara-on-the-Lake) where David worked as a mason for his brother Archibald, who had settled there earlier." per Note in FindaGrave for David Thomson, source Sandi Sullivan.
"The Thomson Settlement; The first permanent resident in Scarborough Township was David Thomson, a Scot who came to Upper Canada with his brother Andrew in 1796. Each was granted 400 acres and David built a log cabin in his property that year. He was soon joined by other settlers, including his brothers Andre and Archibald. The Thomsons, who were stonemasons, worked on the first Parliament Buildings at York (Toronto). A road connecting the settlement with York was opened by 179 and a sawmill was built by each of the brothers. A Presbyterian church, the first in the township, was built in 1819 on David's land and became the centre of the prospering "Thomson Settlement". (Archaellogical and Historic Sites Board of Ontario)" per family tree of jandrews7231 on ancestry.ca, Sep 26 2018.1,2 - Residence: July 1797; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "There are no entries in his account book between June 23 and July 26th, 1797, but David and his family are recorded as being inhabitants of York on July 17, 1797 when the first York Town Meeting was held. It can be reasonably assumed, therefore, that the family moved from Newark to York early in the summer of 1797." per Note in FindaGrave for David Thomson, source Sandi Sullivan.2
- Residence: 26 July 1797; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "At York, David worked as a mason, constructing the first Government Buildings. His account book verifies that he began "the wall the Government Brick house" on July 26th, 1797." per Note in FindaGrave for David Thomson, source Sandi Sullivan.2
- Residence: August 1797; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "David Thomson, 6 males, 2 females" List of the inhabitants of the township of York and it's vicinity in the year 1797, from The Town of York 1793-1815, Law and Order, page 89.
Note: Brothers Archibald and Andrew are also listed.3 - Residence: March 1799; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Although there was no list of inhabitants of York for 1798, a Town meeting was held in March 1799, at Miles Tavern in York and a list of all the inhabitants of the Townships of York, Scarborough and Etobeconk (sic) was recorded. No one was listed as living in Scarborough at that time and David Thomson, his family of eight, and friends James Elliot and Andrew Johnson were all listed as living in York." per Note in FindaGrave for David Thomson, source Sandi Sullivan.2
- Residence: 21 May 1799; Scarborough Twp., York Co., Upper Canada; "Finally, on May 21st, 1799, David Thomson petitioned for land "in Scarborough, where he now resides and was the first settler of that Township." Peter Russell, who was then the administrator of Upper Canada, endorsed the petition stating, "In consideration of the Petitioner's large family and his being the first settler who has built a house and resides in Scarborough, ordered 200 acres." per Note in FindaGrave for David Thomson, source Sandi Sullivan.
"York in those days was concentrated near the northeasterly shore of Toronto Bay. Mary Thomson, like so many others, feared the diseases that were thought to be associated with living so close to the low-lying marshes of the Don River. In the spring of 1799 she and her husband, David, left Toronto Bay at York and walked into the Scarborough forest, along an old aboriginal trail that led northeast, likely the same trail that once led toward the Iroquois village of Ganatsekwyagon. They moved inland, setting up camp along Highland Creek, roughly two and a half miles from the cliffs. There they established their homestead, becoming Scarborough’s first permanent European settlers. This area was named Bendale in the late nineteenth century." Fairburn, M. Jane.
