Notes about John SCADDING

John SCADDING , son of John SCADDING and Mary , was born on 17 January 1751 in Ottery St. Mary. 12 This John is connected with his father by the succession of Shuttleton to his brother, Thomas.

Canadian sources put his birth in Dunkeswell in 1754, but no record exists for this. John married Mellicent TRIGGS on 17 October 1805 in Dunkeswell. Simcoe loaned his carriage to take the couple to church and gave the bride away and held a grand dinner for the wedding guests.

He was a Farmer, Farm Manager etc. He died on 1 March 1824 in Toronto, Canada. While clearing the land on his property, one of the trees that had been partly cut through fell unexpectedly and crushed him to death.

Became tenant of Simcoe's Windsor farm, beside Wolford in Luppitt. He remained the tenant there until 1808, when Mrs Simcoe resumed residence there.

John went to work for General Simcoe as manager at Wolford. T.A. Reid described him as 'one of the best-informed
agriculturalists in England'.

John Scadding Jnr overseer for the Poor in Westown, Hemyock.
John Scadding Jnr: Overseer for the Poor for his father.

John went to Canada with General and Mrs Simcoe.

Simcoe founded the town that later became known as Toronto, giving John Scadding 250 acres on the east bank of the Don River from the lake as far north as today's Danforth Avenue. He built a log cabin on the east of the river on the south side of what is now Queen St. That first cabin burned down and in 1794 Scadding built a second one on the same site and it is this cabin that now stands in Exhibition Place.

Simcoe's health steadily deteriorated during his years in Canada and in 1796, on the advice of his doctor, he returned to England, taking Scadding with him.

Scadding continued to manage the estate for Simcoe's widow, after Simcoe died in 1806, but sometime around 1818 he decided to return to Canada and develop his land to provide a future for his young children. At the north end of his property he built a large house and barn and it was this part of his land that the city bought in 1856 as the site for the Don Jail. In 1821, Scadding sent for his family to join him.

This is the John who was the first settler in Toronto.
