H. Welling's parents were John Welling and Mary Hanington, and his grandparents were John Welling and Elizabeth Derby. The latter John Welling "was a Loyalist from Welling's Burg, near Newbury, New York, where he was born and who had first settled in Saint John, New Brunswick, on his arrival in Canada and later moved to St. Eleanor's." Mary Hanington was the d/o William Hanington and Mary Derby. You can find information about these families in "A History of Shediac Cape" by Francis Reginald Ker Sayer, March 1966, from which the quote came.
