Thomas Frisby, lot 25, concession 4, is the eldest son of John and Lucy Frisby, who emigrated from England in 1831 and settled in Thornhill, where the father purchased a farm on concession 3, on which he remained until 1856; he went on business to Milwaukee, but unfortunately lost his life on board the Niagara boat which was burned on September 24, 1856. This unexpected and melancholy event disturbed all existing arrangements and the family decided to remain in the township, Thomas taking upon himself the management of his late father's affairs. That the section benefited by the family remaining here is certain, for Mr. Frisby has ever proved himself anxious to promote the general well-being of the community; and, although he has never accepted office, yet his presence has ever been recognized as an advantage. He has been
liberal towards the erection of churches of every denomination, and the poor and needy find in him a sincere friend. He married a daughter of John Newlove, of Etobicoke, by whom he had ten children, nine of whom are living." (History of Toronto and County of York, Vol. II 1885, C. Blackett Robinson – Biographical Notices p. 289)
