Hello and welcome to my web site. I have been dabbling in genealogy since high school when my Aunt showed me a book that she received on our Willson ancestry. Of course at that time I was far too busy finishing school, getting married, and having a family . Well, the youngest has his own family now, so I guess that I have the time. I am attempting to be of some help to others trying to find their families and have included what I hope are some helpful and useful links. On this site you will find a link to the Index of surnames that are in the Willson Book that first called my attention to genealogy and a link to my Great-grandmother's scrapbook of newspaper articles that contain the surnames of many Antrim County, Michigan families, although I highly recommend using the search engine provided above to more quickly find the names that you are looking for. Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help to you. And, please sign my guestbook.
"LINK TO GRACE RUSHTON'S SCRAPBOOK"
"LINK TO POEM"
written by my cousin Nancy L. Slabosz about our Grandmother, Corene Pauline Rushton who married Duane Porter Johnson and 10 years after his death married Percy Empey.
"LINK TO THE INDEX OF THE BOOK" "WILLSON LOYALIST FROM SUSSEX CO. NEW JERSEY TO ONTARIO CANADA" Compiled and edited by Thomas B. Wilson, 1964
This is the index for loyalist to Ontario Canada. Many, many names of loyalist and their families. Many of these people migrated back to the US in later years.
Some names with multiple listings are: BONNER, BRAY, CRANE, De YOUNG, DOBSON, DRENTH, EMPEY, GIBBARD, GIFFORD, HAUN, HOLDITCH, JOHNON, KING, LARSON, LATHER, McCREDIE, McDONALD, MITTON, MOSSMAN, NELSON, PETRIE, REAVLEY,RUSSELL, SPENCE, STEWART, WHITSELL, and WILSON/WILLSON.
This version of the book was not intended for public distribution, but rather sent to members of the family allowing them to know what research has been done and what research remains to be done.
I am researching: SCAFE, MITTON, WILLSON/WILSON, RUSHTON, BLENKHORN, SMITH, SAGEMAN/SEDGEMAN, THIER, MORSE, PALMER, PARKE, CLEVELAND, BROWN, HOPKINS, JOHNSON, and lots more.
