Hi Lee....so that you and others including myself won't be disappointed, this book is just a list from the original records that are in The Nat'l Archives of Canada of Rolls of names of those who qualified as Loyalists so the important thing about these lists is that these people existed in 1796/7 in Upper Canada- not that they were Loyalists. It amounts almost to a partial Census of the province at that date - inadequate as it may be. That being said I did not find any Webbs. Did find a John Pickle Sr and Jr in the Midland District Township of Fredericksburg I found a William Thomson not Thompson in Midland too Township of Fredericksburg but no Doney's. No Amos Martin or his wife, Rachel Vosbourg. In 1796 the Midland District, earlier called the Mecklenburgh District, comprised Frontenac, Lennox and Addington and Prince Edward counties and the southern part of Hastings County, In 1792 it also included a group of island in Lake Ontario near the St. Lawrence River which were called Ontario County; this county was abolished in 1798 and is different from the Ontario County which was created from York County in 1851. The southern boundary of the Midland District, was Lake Ontario, the Ottawa or Grand River was the northern boundary. In 1792 Kingston became the district town of the Midland District. While in Google's books I did find another book mentioned People of Ontario 1600-1900 that is in the Library of Ottawa but there was no preview available. Good luck with your research.
