• Note: 1774; Maryland, U.S.A.; "In 1774 Thomas Ridout emigrated to Maryland where an elder brother, already established as a government official at Annapolis, financed his entry into the carrying trade with the West Indies and France. By concentrating upon his commercial affairs, Thomas seems to have avoided the crisis of conscience posed by the revolution to many Americans, especially recent arrivals from Britain. At the end of the revolutionary war, during which he had continued his Atlantic trading activities, he was viewed as a friend and supporter of the new American nation. In 1787, however, Ridout took a journey westward that would change his future and his allegiance. He set out in December 1787 for the new settlement of Kentucky. His ostensible purpose was to collect some business debts, but he also carried letters of introduction, one from no less a personage than George Washington, indicating that he went “to explore and perhaps to settle” there. His original plans, whatever they were, collapsed when he and a small band of travellers were captured by Shawnee Indians in March 1788 on the Ohio River. Unlike several of his companions Ridout escaped death and, after three months’ captivity, was taken to British-held Detroit and freedom." from Dictionary of Canadian Bigraphy, Thomas Ridout - http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html.⁶
• Residence*: 1792; Newark, Upper Canada; "In May 1789 he married the daughter of a loyalist and by the end of the year was contemplating permanent residence in British North America. In 1792 he obtained a position in the commissariat and with his young family moved to Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) to join the new administration being set up there by Upper Canada’s first lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe*." from Dictionar yof Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶
• Note: 1793; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "In 1793 Ridout entered the surveyor general’s office as first clerk. Despite this modest beginning and competition from deputy surveyor general William Chewett*, who was better trained and more professionally active, Ridout soon rose in the department." from Dictionar yof Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶
• Residence: 1797; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "He married for the second time and settled in Upper Canada, first at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake), where he entered government services, and then, in 1797, at York (Toronto). Samuel remained in Maryland where he was probably raised and educated under the care of his uncle, John Donavan, postmaster of Hancock. Thomas, once settled himself, encouraged his eldest son to join him with the lure of a position in his own office of registrar of York County. By 1800, Samuel, age 21, had arrived in the provincial capital of Upper Canada and was soon employed as deputy to David Burns, clerk of the crown and pleas, the administrative support for the Court of King's Bench." from Dictionary of Canadian Biography, Samuel Smith Ridout - http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_samuel_smith_8E.html
  Thomas Ridout was made registrar of York County in 1796 - which means he had moved with the government from Newark to York.⁶
• Note: 6 August 1804; Surveyor General's Office, York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Received from Mesr. Chewett & Ridout, acting for the Surveyor General - Two sheets of drawing paper, Two black lead pencils, 2 black memd'm Books, 1 Quire paper; (signed) John Stegmann, York, 6 Aug. 1804
  Witness: (Signed) Sam'l Ridout" and "Rec'd 16 Aug 1804 from Mesr. Chewett & Ridout, two blank memd'um books & 3 black lead pencils. (signed) John Stegmann, Dy. Sureyor. Witness S. Ridout" Archives of Ontario, Microfilm MS 7442, Vol 61, Pg. 1812.
  Note: This note found during research on Speedy story. John Stegemann routinely collected supplies from Chewett & Ridout who were then jointly acting as the Surveyor General until young Wyatt came on board. Samuel Ridout was the brother of Thomas.
  
• Note: 1807; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "He and Chewett acted jointly as surveyors general in 1799, 1802, and 1807 during the absences of the regular incumbents. In the latter year Ridout succeeded in avoiding involvement in the dispute between Lieutenant Governor Francis Gore* and Surveyor General Charles Burton Wyatt*. Gore suspended Wyatt and, albeit temporarily, Ridout’s eldest son, a deputy provincial surveyor." from Dictionar yof Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶
• Occupation*: 1810; York, York Co., Upper Canada; " In the fall of 1809, after two years of acting as joint department head, Ridout travelled to England with Gore’s support to lobby for the surveyor generalship. He was successful and officially received the appointment in September 1810, retaining the post until his death." from Dictionary of Canadian Bigraphy, Thomas Ridout - http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html. "He was the Surveyor General for Canada" per email from Paul Godfrey, Dec. 12, 2004.^2,6
• Note*: 1818; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Mr. Ridout was the father of a numerous progeny and tribal head so to speak of more than one family of connections settled here bearing the same name. He wasa a fine typical representative of the cheerful, benevolent-minded Englishman, of portly form, his hair snow white, naturally, his usual costume of antique style. Mr. Ridout was one of the pewholders in St. James' church from its commencement and was chruchwarden in 1818. He was one of the subscribers in 1822 to the fund for building two bridges over the Don. As Surbeyor-General he laid out in 1819 the six acres square field north of the St. James church plot, which was originally known as College square, and was intended to become and continue for ever an educational institution. .... In 1801 Mr. Ridout was one of the subscribers to the improvement of Yonge street. ... From 1816 to 1819, among the scholars at the Home District Grammar School, were Thomas Ridout, Jr., Francis Ridout, John Ridout, Charles Ridout and Horace Ridout. Mr. Samuel Ridout was for a time Sheriff of York County. It was John Ridout, the young son of Surveyor-General Ridoout, who was killed in a duel on the morning of July, 12, 1817, and it was from the old homestead on Duke Street that he started before daybreak, accompanied b ya friend in his teens for the field where he met his death." from Landmarks of Toronto, Volume 1, pg. 281.⁸
• Residence: 1825; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Ridout was elected in 1812 to the assembly for the East Riding of York and Simcoe, defeating Joseph Shepard* who, in Ridout’s words, represented the “Democratic Faction” and was supported by Joseph Willcocks*. Ridout did not run in 1816 and his son George, a moderate loosely aligned with William Warren Baldwin*, lost the seat to Peter Robinson*. Ridout did not campaign for office again but he was called to the Legislative Council in 1825 and served until his death." from Dictionar yof Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶
• Note: 1827; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Ridout was rather old to take an active role in the War of 1812 but he supported his sons in their various endeavours and himself became a director of the Loyal and Patriotic Society of Upper Canada. A decade later he was appointed to the board established to review claims for war losses. In 1822 he became a member of the Clergy Reserves Corporation and in 1827 he was appointed to the original board of King’s College (University of Toronto), thus joining initiatives of John Strachan* on behalf of the Church of England." from Dictionar yof Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶
• Note: 1829; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Ridout worked assiduously to establish himself in the new colony. By dint of perseverance and steady application he secured a niche for himself and his family, especially sons George and Thomas Gibbs, in the developing administration and society of Upper Canada. Though he saw himself as a man of independent mind, a characteristic more frequently displayed by his offspring, he was in reality one of many middle and minor functionaries upon whose steady support and conservative views rested the growing power of the colonial oligarchy which has come to be known as the “family compact.” from Dictionary of Canadian Biography, Thomas Ridout, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_6E.html⁶

• Note: 1835; Toronto, York Co., Upper Canada; "The Bank of Upper Canada was considered by many in the 1820s and 1830s to be a virtual tool of the Family Compact. Ridout, testifying in 1835 before a select committee of the assembly, defended the bank’s record and claimed that “every farmer or person in trade or in respectable circumstances, who can give unexceptional personal security, has a right to secure from the public banks reasonable accommodation in proportion to his means, without being considered to ask for favours.” Its officers and directors of course interpreted the terms “respectable circumstances” and “reasonable accommodation,” and the bank became a frequent target of radical reform criticism." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: April 1838; Toronto, York Co., Upper Canada; "Ridout for his part served from the beginning of the rebellion until the end of April 1838 as a captain in the Bank of Upper Canada Guard, a militia unit created solely to protect the bank and its coffers from rebel attack. Late in 1838 the tension generated by the Patriot attack near Prescott once more turned the bank into a fortress which temporarily held Ridout’s family and that of R. B. Sullivan. But the bank survived the troubles of 1837–38 without incident and within a few months Ridout was giving more thought to the winter’s assemblies and balls than to its physical defence." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: 1841; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "The 1840s were for T. G. Ridout, now entering middle age, a period of increasing civic involvement. In 1841 he chaired the electoral committee supporting Reformer Isaac Buchanan*’s successful bid to represent Toronto in the assembly. Initiated as the first recruit of the St Andrew’s Masonic Lodge in 1823, Ridout was provincial grand master by 1846. He was also involved in Toronto’s St Andrew’s Society, rising from second vice-president in 1843 to president in 1848–49 and 1849–50. He was the first president of the Toronto Mechanics’ Institute upon its incorporation in 1847. In the same year Ridout, along with such Toronto notables as William Botsford Jarvis and Joseph Clarke Gamble, founded the Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara, and St Catharines Electro-Magnetic Telegraph Company. He was as well treasurer of Trinity College for a short time before his death." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: 1850; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "In 1850 the Bank of Upper Canada became the official government bank; soon both Ridout and the institution he represented were deeply enmeshed in the politics of railways and Ridout as well began to speculate in land." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: 1852; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "In 1852 he was an incorporator of the Grand Trunk Railway and, along with Peter* and Isaac Buchanan, of the Hamilton and Toronto Railway Company, an eastern extension of the major Buchanan enterprise, the Great Western Railway. At the same time Ridout tried unsuccessfully to persuade Peter Buchanan, then residing in Glasgow, to become the bank’s London agent." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: 1853; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "In the following year the bank accepted the account of the Great Western, and Ridout’s eldest son Thomas became, probably not coincidentally, an assistant engineer on that railway. Within a month T. G. Ridout received from Isaac Buchanan 40 shares of Great Western stock, enough to qualify him to become a director.

• Note: 1854; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "The accommodation was not without its awkward moments, however; in 1854 Ridout was concerned because news of the bank’s large loans to the Great Western seemed likely to lead to an effort in the legislature to force the government to remove its account. When this step was taken for other reasons two and a half years after Ridout’s death, it was a major factor precipitating the bank’s collapse." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: 1857; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "Although the bank was becoming increasingly the subject of criticism and legislative inquiry, Ridout’s personal fortune continued to improve. In 1853 his salary as cashier was raised from £750 to £1,000. Swept up in the speculative boom which preceded the depression of 1857, he estimated his Sherborne property to be worth £16,000, or £20,000 if subdivided, and was considering selling it although he was “in no hurry about it.” When he did sell this land, a month before his death, he received $9,500 for it. He was also in 1853 developing several hundred acres near Port Hope. He had two streets laid out and planned to sell the 76 building lots for £30 to £35 each. He estimated that another 100 acres north of the town could be developed into one-acre properties worth £100 each. He also owned 100 acres “on the lake shore and harbour . . . where the Grand Trunk rail way is to be” and he estimated its worth at four to five times that of the land north of the town. He even confided to his wife that, after selling all this property, “I fancy I shall not bother myself any more about the Bank [of Upper Canada].” His grandiose plans were disrupted by the end of the speculative boom in 1857, and in his will he left the modest sum of $4,160." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
• Note: before 29 July 1861; Toronto, York Co., Canada West; "The depression of the late 1850s adversely affected the fortunes of the Bank of Upper Canada as well as those of its cashier. Like many of his contemporaries Thomas Gibbs Ridout was unable to cope with the new economic situation; in addition, his health began to fail in the late 1850s. In April 1861 he retired in favour of the younger financier, Robert Cassels*, who admitted in his first report that the bank had suffered losses of $1,500,000, or half its capital, as a result of imprudent railway and land speculations. Ridout’s health continued to deteriorate and he died at Toronto on 29 July 1861." in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 9, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed June 1, 2024, http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/ridout_thomas_gibbs_9E.html.²
