Thomas Davis was an early settler and notable figure on Wolfe Island, Ontario, during the early 19th century. He was among the first settlers on the island, arriving around 1798 alongside other United Empire Loyalist families, including the Hitchcocks, Hinckleys, and Cones.
In 1821, Thomas Davis, who operated a ferry service between Wolfe Island and Kingston, tragically drowned, leaving behind his widow, Mary Hinckley Davis, and seven children. Mary continued to operate the ferry service after his death.
The Davis family played a significant role in the early development of Wolfe Island, contributing to its settlement and community life. Their legacy is intertwined with the island’s history, reflecting the challenges and contributions of early Canadian settlers.
