I do find him so interesting. He appears in the Manuscript collection at the Burton Collection of the Detroit Public Library. One of the things he did when he first came to Michigan was rent property that was the old Livernois (French Canadian) ribbon farm. There is a complete list of what was on the farm. There was an area a clay where bricks could be made. But the most interesting thing to me was that on my mother's side her ancester was Joseph Livernois and this was the farm rented by my fathers ancestor Daniel Thompson.. how cool is that. There is also a gentleman by the name of David Thompson who when his name was written in script it looked like Daniel (very hard to determine which person signed the document). Daniel's son-in-law was involved in the Arsenal in Dearborn when there was a problem and a man died. Daniel believed he owned the Tavern but the government said the property belonged to the arsenal. I have searched all the land, court and other records I could find in Wayne County for these people.
