Read More	William had quite the interesting story over his lifetime and a great visual of the time-frame in which he lived. He was born Aug 1778 in New York the 6th child of John McKerlie of Scotland a Patriot during the American Revolution and Mary McKie. After the war had ended William followed his two brothers John and Samuel to Ontario possible at their urging around 1800 and most likely stayed with them in the Stamford area for a time. Shortly after his arrival in Canada he met and fell in love with Nancy Rose, daughter of Daniel Rose UEL. Due to this Nancy was able to obtain a grant of land at Lot 8 Con 1 SDS (now Dundas St by the 407) within Nelson Township in 1806. (McKerlie Cr these days being all that remain) When troubles with the States began to arise again William felt it was his duty to serve and was commissioned on May 13, 1811 (2nd Regiment of York Militia). An Ensign during the war he was part of a group captured while at dinner and taken as a prisoner of war from July 4 to 24, 1814. It is said that one of the capturing officers recognized William as a schoolmate in New York and talked to his commander into allowing him to stay with his parents until released. Sometime later or after the war had ended William was promoted to his final rank of Lieutenant. William along with Gilbert Bastedo and Hugh Creen were the first trustees for St Paul's Presbyterian Church located down from the homestead and now their final resting-place.
