William Alexander Everitt was a Patriot on the US side, he is listed and proved already through his son David I believe. I just proved my line up through Rebecca.
It is very true, if he had not served as a Patriot, then you would not be eligible.
I have family up in Ontario by 1792, but as he is not listed on any UEL Rolls, he doesn't qualify.
I enjoyed proving my whole line to him. It is there for future generations if anyone else cares to be interested.
Let me know if you find more on your line, I would be interested.
