Surnames: Willson, McLay, Henderson
Looking for information about Benjamin (1789 - 1849) and/or Frederick Willson (1807 - 1884) who came to Mayfield Twp. Ohio abt 1830 from Phelps, Ontario County New York. Frederick was referred to as General Willson (Officer in militia) He married Eliza Henderson of Orange Twp. Cuyahoga Co. Ohio in 1836. Frederick had a mother named Esther ? who died at 94 yrs of age in 1880. Benjamin was married to Margaret McLay born 1802 in Pennsylvania, died 1887. Am trying to determine how/if Benjamin and Frederick were related and who Benjamin's parents were. The Willson family settled in an area along the Chagrin River and gave their name to an area named Willson Mills - now part of Gates Mills Ohio. Any information on this family (ancestors or descendants would be appreciated. Thank you.
