It has not been determined with 100% certainty that Thomas Thompson and Martha are the parents of Matilda. A marriage record for Thomas Edward Hastings and Matilda Jane Thompson has not been located. Matilda's death record gives her birth place as Pine Grove, Vaughan. The 1851 census lists a Matilda Thompson of correct age residing with parents Thomas and Martha Thompson and siblings in Vaughan, York County, Ontario. Father's occupation in 1851 was Lumber Merchant. Our Matilda (Thompson) Hastings named her first born Martha.
