Bio update July 11, 2023

Anyone wishing to use the photos that I have posted on this website are free to use them in their genealogy. HOWEVER, please note where the photo came from and note me as the contributor.

I post most photos to both FIND-A-GRAVE and my ANCESTRY family tree - Merrickville Wilson families. Some people have been copying my photos and re-posting them in their own ANCESTRY tree, with no credit to me. The photos can be saved directly from my family tree. Please do not use FIND-A-GRAVE to ask me questions about my ancestry and related families. See my family tree which contains over 45,000 individuals.

Some of my direct family ANCESTORS include the following:

I am a descendant of Louis HÉBERT, 1575-1627, and Marie ROLLET, 1588-1649, my 11th great-grandparents, who were the first family to settle in (New France), Québec, 1617.

I am descendant of John ALDEN & Priscilla MULLINS, my 10th great-grandparents, who were MAYFLOWER passengers, 1620.

Ambroise SICARD/SECORD, 1631-1712, my 8th great-grandfather, a French Huguenot refugee who came to America and was a founder of New Rochelle, NY. Some SECORD descendants were also Loyalists that came to the Niagara area in CANADA.

I have many UNITED EMPIRE LOYALIST, (UEL), family ancestors, through all 4 of my grandparents. The Loyalists are Sergeant Joseph KNAPP & Daniel NETTLETON, Colonel Jessop's Corp. settled Augusta Township, Grenville County. The following settled in the Niagara Area, and of them most served under Colonel John Butler. Names are William & John READ, Grantham Township; John BESSEY, Grantham Twp; John CLARK, Grantham Twp; Frederick ANGER, Jr, George Frederick ANGER, Bertie Twp; Francis ELLSWORTH, Stamford & Bertie Twp; Henry WINDECKER, Bertie Twp; Benjamin Bycroft/BEECROFT, Ancaster Twp; Anthony West broeck/WESTBROOK, Ancaster Twp; Bassnett DELL, Willoughby Twp; Leonard MISENER, Thorold Twp; Philip George BENDER, Stamford Twp; Robert COOK, Stamford Twp; John STEINHOFF, Stamford & Crowland, and later Woodhouse Twp, Norfolk County.
