Historia
James Thomson was a farmer, baker, miner and lumberman who lived in Edwardsburgh, Canada West (now Cardinal, Ont.). Born in 1823 in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Thomson worked as a baker's apprentice at the age of 22 until he emigrated to Canada in 1844. He stayed in Montreal that first winter, then moved to Edwardsburgh to work as a baker. In 1849, he moved to Chicago, where he found employment in a lumber firm. In 1850, he travelled to California, then the Fraser Valley (Cariboo), where he took up mining, and continued working as a baker and a lumberman. Three years later, he had earned enough money to purchase a farm in Edwardsburgh. He would later work for the Edwardsburgh Starch Company as assistant book-keeper
After settling in Edwardsburgh, he married Mary Armstrong in 1854. They raised five children: James, Colin, Edwin, Mary and Agnes. They had born two others, Lora and an unnamed infant, who both died at young ages. James passed away in 1895.
