Mrs. Margaret (Thomson) Bray, a highly respected resident of Amherstburg, is descended from one of the early pioneer families of County Essex.
     The Thomson family originated in Scotland, but at an early day they all emigrated to the North of Ireland, where Mrs. Bray's grandfather was born and where he spent his life. His family was as follows: Robert, the first of the family to come to Ontario, located in County Essex, where for many years he was a teacher; Charles L. was the father of Mrs. Bray; Thomas also came to County Essex, where he followed farming in the township of Maidstone, where he died.
     Charles Lennox Thomson was born in Ireland, Feb. 5, 1809, but came to Ontario with relatives when but a boy. On attaining his majority he taught school for many years, and also conducted a fine farm in Colchester South. He married Margaret Lockhart, a daughter of James Lockhart, who was of Scottish extraction, and their married life was spent in Colchester South, where he died Dec. 12, 1884; his widow passed away June 12, 1890. They were both consistent members of the Church of England in Colchester South, in which Mr. Thomson was lay reader and church warden for many years. He was a justice of the peace and commissioner in the H.C.J., and served as clerk and treasurer of his township for many years. In politics Mr. Thomson was a Conservative. To himself and wife were born the following children: Sarah Jane married George Fox, of Gosfield township; Amanda married Adam Fox; Margaret is Mrs. Bray; Lucinda Julia married Wheeler Mickle, of the North-West; Charles Lennox, of Colchester South, married Laura Bray; Louisa Sophia was married July 15, 1873, to James Brown, of Colchester South; Arthur Henry died at the age of two years; Eustace James is deceased; Alfred Ernest, of Colchester South, married Melinda Alga, daughter of Martin Alga.
     Mrs. Margaret (Thomson) Bray was born in Colchester South, in 1838, and married George Hughson. They had no family. Mr. Hughson was born in 1834 and died in 1868, while they were living in Colchester South. In 1876 Mrs. Hughson married William Bray, who was born in England in 1836, and after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bray settled at Caledonia, Haldiman County, where Mr. Bray became a manufacturer of wooden goods. To this union came one son, Lennox Thomson, born in 1877, who is well educated, and is now a civil engineer and land surveyor in Berlin, County of Waterloo. Mr. Bray died in 1877, after which Mrs. Bray returned to her native county, and is now passing her declining years at Amherstburg, surrounded by a host of acquaintances and friends, by whom she is greatly beloved for her many excellent traits of character.
