Francis Wolferstan Thomas : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Wolferstan Thomas
Francis Wolferstan Thomas (January 9, 1834 – 1900) was a Canadian banker and a philanthropist in Montreal. ==Early life==
Born January 9, 1834, at Morwenstow, Cornwall, the son of the Rev. Francis Wolferstan Thomas, Rural Dean and Rector of Parkham, North Devon, a family held living through the Reverend's mother's family, the Wolferstans of (Berry House ), Hartland, Devon, descended from the Wolferstans of Statfold Hall, Staffordshire. Francis' mother was “a lady of the ancient and important family of Shearme, whose seat is Woodlands, Cornwall”. The Thomas family were formerly possessed of large estates in Glamorganshire. Educated at Sherborne School, Dorset, he had a classical education as his parents desired for him to enter the church, like his father and grandfather (a Fellow of Oxford University) before him. But Francis wanted a military career, and at the age of seventeen, with no hope of his parents changing their minds, he instead left home for Rice Lake (Ontario), with the intention to seek his fortune farming.
