David Thompson (December 7, 1836 – April 18, 1886) was a Canadian businessman and political figure. He represented Haldimand in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1867 to 1886.[1]
He was born in Wainfleet Township in Upper Canada in 1836[1], the son of David Thompson who represented Haldimand in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1841 to 1851. After studying at Upper Canada College, he became a merchant selling flour and grain. Thompson married Elizabeth Stinson in 1858. In 1863, he was elected to the 8th Parliament of the Province of Canada for Haldimand; after Confederation, he was reelected to the House of Commons. He died in Indiana, Ontario while still in office in 1886.[2]
David's son, Andrew, later represented Haldimand and Monck in the House of Commons.
The property where the mansion built by Thompson's father still stands is now preserved as a National Historic Site of Canada, Ruthven Park.[3][4][5]
