Canada Company notice of Widder's position

Frederick Widder (1801–1865) was a Canada Company commissioner and son of a Canada Company London director, with family connections to royalty and Anglican figures of influence.[1] His moderate approach and financial innovations for the Canada Company gave him good standing with the pioneers of the Huron Tract and the reformers of Upper Canada.[2] His administrative talents and hard work allowed him to advance past Thomas Mercer Jones and take the lead in the Canada Company.

Widder's home, Lyndhurst, became a social hub of Toronto.[3] His wife, Elizabeth, provided upper-class residents of York with refined entertainments redolent of British aristocratic and middle-class life.[4]
