Thomas G. Ferriss, the owner and proprietor of the finest and best equipped livery establishment in Windsor, is also one of the city's leading businessmen. He is descended from one of the leading families of the County of Essex.
     The great-grandfather of Mr. Ferriss was a United Empire Loyalist, having come to Canada from the States about the time of the revolutionary war, and settled in Bois Blanc, a part of the County of Essex. His family consisted of three sons and two daughters, namely: John, Isaac, Samuel, Polly and Esther.
     John Ferriss, the grandfather of Thomas G., was born in 1795, in Bois Blanc, and died in 1882 in Toronto. He married a lady named McCormick, who was born in 1797, in the County of Essex, and their children were: Mathew, who died in 1899, in Manitoba; John, deceased; Mary, the wife of Alexander Quick, of Essex South; Joseph was a farmer and wagon-maker of Essex South; Sarah, deceased, who was the wife of James Waddell; Elizabeth, deceased wife of Charles Wright; and William who died in 1900, in Essex South.
