Subject: UEL help needed for James/John Willson

I am stumped and need some help with a UEL ancestor. Anyone that can add further help in locating or adding to the family history would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here is currently what I have and what I need:

Annie Jane and William Levi Wilson
James and Sarah Wilson/Willson
Levi and Anne Willson
Hugh and Anna Willson
John/James Wilson UEL
Adam Willson


William to James/Sarah Wilson/Willson (I am guessing Schedule A-Births would be enough proof--from Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1902 County Halton, 1869 Roll#MS929_1 shows his birth date, place and parents names). Then James to Levi Willson (I am hoping a birth or baptism record for him is somewhere, microfilmed marriage information might be enough proof since it does list his parents). Prove Levi to Hugh Willson (The marriage bond doesn't list his parents, so still need proof, would like copy of death certificate for Levi from Michigan, I am told he died 27 SEP 1879 in Jackson, MI) Proving Hugh to John Willson (I don't feel the census record is enough proof, so still need proof). Proving John/James to Adam (need proof).

James Willson UEL died 1777 married Martha LAING. He was the s/o Adam Willson 1717-1790. James is on the Roster of Butler's Corps of Rangers as a Captain.
John Willson [b. July 8 1741] is listed as a Sergeant on the Roster of Butler's Corps of Rangers. On the census at Niagara taken 30 Nov. 1783 he is in Capt. Andrew BRADT's Co. as:

a.. Sgt. John Willson age 42
b.. Mary Willson age 36
c.. Huwe Willson age 10
d.. John Willson age 12
e.. Andrew Willson age 8
I can't find the roster to verify him.

Census of Niagara 1783
Returns of Persons Under the description of Loyalists in Capt. Andrew Bradt's Company of the Corps of Rangers; Niagara 30 November 1783

Sgt. John Willson, age 42
Mary Willson, age 36
Huwe (Hugh) Willson, age 10
John Willson, age 12
Andrew Willson, age 8
Minderd (sic) Willson, age 3
Susanna Willson, age 6

Thanks in advance for your help.
