• Notes

  Joseph Willick [Willig], born in the Elsass, came to Canada with a birth certificate issued by the French Republic with the remarkable date, 23 Pluviôse 13. The location was reported as K?stlach Commune in the Canton of Ferrette in the Department of Haut-Rhin, Alsace. In standard terms this translates into 12 February 1805. Lewis J. Burkholder, the Mennonite historian who published the book, A Brief History of the Mennonites in Ontario, 1935, wrote about Joseph Willick. Joseph joined the local Mennonites when he developed convictions against serving in the military. Burkholder states Joseph Willick served the Mennonites as a deacon and held meetings in a schoolhouse near his home along the Sodom Road. David Habecker from New York, a Mennonite minister, served with Joseph Willick in this small congregation, but it was disbanded by the late 19th century. Joseph's brother, Nicholas Jr., also left the Roman Catholic church and joined the Evangelische Gemeinschaft (German Methodists). .
