Some unsourced data say that William died at the age of about 45 in 1760 in Windsor, Windsor County, Nova Scotia, however there are no sources that even suggest that William came to North America. Other family stories say that William was in the British forces and may have been at the taking of Quebec (Plains of Abraham battle, 1759), but again there are no sources that support this family story.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
I am not aware of any sources that indicate that William Oulton (Oulton-42) ever came to North America, let alone that he died in Windsor. What source do you have for this?
Oulton-42 and Oulton-161 appear to represent the same person because: Same mother. Same approximate birth date in same town. Different death dates, though
