(Research):Life Sketch
?

He is listed as a deaf mute, laborer. He took over the family farm when his parents passed away.

1861 Agricultural census shows Thomas Leeson farming Lot 13, Conc. 9, 100 acres, Montague, Township, ON,

Thomas gave his exact date of birth in the Canada 1901 Census as March 14, 1829. However, in the census taken August 14, 1861 he claimed his age at next birthday to be 28. (That was the convention in the 1851 and 1861 census. This would suggest his DOB to be 1833. In the 1871 Census he claimed to be 33-DOB 1837-38. He and his brother appear in the 1851 Census (taken Jan. 12, 1852) as Gleasons living with their widowed mother. William is listed as the older son. The family was originally spell Gleeson but was often spell as Gleason. See Head of Household for Montague and 1851 Canada Census. It seems the family changed the name to Leeson after John's death.
