From the book, Fragments of a dream : pioneering in Dysart Township and Haliburton Village -
"... The second family were the Thompsons. Richard and Martha were a middle-aged couple with four teenagers, Joshua, John, James and Jane. They settled on Lot 5, Concession V, and in the early years Richard worked on the Stewart farm ...
In the twenty-two years that he lived in Dysart, Richard Thompson succeeded in clearing only nineteen acres. In 1885 the whole family moved away and did not return."
