Note: I have seen no evidence yet that Thomas Allan actually lived in Seymour for any length of time. Would love to see the early census and assessment records which are not online yet. He is in Fogo, Berwickshire, Scotland in both 1851 and 1861 Scotland Census records. His brother, David Allan, was certainly, in Seymour rather early, and appears to be the main on-the-ground operator, even before starting his mills to the north in Rylstone. After Thomas died in 1865, the property in Seymour was passed on to his two sons, William and Robert Thomas, who were then children. Over time, they sold the property - some to the Haig family and some to the Rannie family.

- Residence: circa 1834; Seymour Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "In addition to the Campbell brothers, some retired military men who settled in Seymour Township as military claimants were: ... Thomas Allan ... " page 15 of Gleanings.5
- Residence: 1834; Con 3 Lot 25 & 26, Seymour Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "HOARD'S STATION; This settlement on Concession 3, Lots 25 and 26 on the road from Campbellford to Stirling was first known as Allandale in recognition of a prominent early pioneer, Thomas Allan, a British naval officer who received 200 acres of land in 1834. He increased his holdings until he owned 1000 acres in the area. In 1836, he brought equipment from Scotland to open a mill which was used for threshing grain, making bone meal, and sawing lumber. The later name of Hoard's Station was to acknowledge the Hoard family, United Empire Loyalists, who settled in Rawdon Township." from page 22 of Gleanings.
Note: It would be great to have documents showing us that Thomas Allan lived in Seymour during those years of the late 1830s and through the 1840s. He owned land at Conc 2 & 3, lots 21 and 22, and his Will passed them to his sons after he died in 1865. David Allan, his younger brother, obtained the Patent from the Crown for Lot 24, Conc 2 in 1856, which is near Hoard's Station, but he let it go to the Commercial Bank in a decade as he concentrated on his mills on the Crowe River.

- Residence*: 1834; Seymour Twp., Fogorig, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "In 1834. Thomas Allan of Berwickshire, Scotland - recently retired from the Royal Navy - took up his 200-acre Crown grant in the wilderness that became Seymour Township. An ambitious man, he added another 900 acres to his holding and began his life as a landed gentleman. Thomas married in his 60s, mindful of the need for heirs for his estate. Unfortunately, his bride Elizabeth Bonner did not share his enthusiasm for Upper Canada, and remained stalwart in Scotland, two sons attesting to Thomas' occasional visits to the old country. Elizabeth forbade the sons to leave for Canada, although in the way of youth everywhere, they did one day break their vow, and went on to became successful surgeons in North America." from the article "The Scottish Hearts of Fogorig" by Lindi Pierce in County & Quinte Living, Winter 2013.

Note: In 1869 these lots had been sold by William Allan, son of Thomas Allan, to various buyers. It seems odd that the 1878 atlas still records them as under the estate of Thomas Allan. It may be due to the fact that William Allan was only 20 years old at that time, so not of age.

Note: This document is almost impossible to transcribe. The handwriting is more inclined toward style than readability. I tried to find several words in a row that were more or less clear and build at easch end one word at a time. The text I have done contains enough information to confirm that this is the right Thomas Allan, the one who was the father of Thomas Allan who acquired land in Seymour Twp., Upper Canada around 1836. He mentions his son Thomas Allan "at tenant of Fogorig" as well as his wife, Mr. Jane Allan. There is also mention of two remaining daughters, Margaret and Agnes, which matches with the family lost we have from ancestry.ca. (Dan Buchanan, May 12 2021)
