Thomas Ingersoll
Thomas Ingersoll was born in Massachusetts and immigrated to Upper Canada (Ontario) following the American Revolution. In 1793, he obtained a land grant of 66,000 acres (267 km²) in Oxford County from Governor John Graves Simcoe. He named the new settlement Oxford-on-the-Thames. He is better known as the father of his eldest daughter, Laura Secord, who warned the British of an impending American attack on Upper Canada during the War of 1812.
