• Immigration*: 23 June 1796; Upper Canada; "The Thomson saga began when David Thomson, his wife Mary, and their four young children arrived in Canada in 1796.

• 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".

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.

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.
