William Thompson Blaine Adamson (1912-2001) was a descendent of one of the original founding fathers of St. Peter's Anglican Church in Erindale, Dr. Joseph Adamson. Dr. Adamson emigrated from England in 1822 with his family and immediately set up a medical practice that served both the natives and settlers. Joseph's brother, Peter, held the first services for St. Peter's Anglican Church at his home and hired Reverend James Magrath. Joseph signed the deed to the first St. Peter's Church and was the Rector's Warden. Tommy was born and raised in Mississauga on a dairy farm that is now the present site of Erindale High School. Tommy was the first historian of St. Peter's Anglican Church and the Bell Tower Museum which was created out of the many things he had collected. Tommy and his wife, Jean, were both avid historians for the Mississauga area and both wrote books on local history. Adamson was also Past President of the Mississauga South Historical Society and a member of the Streetsville Historical Society. |
