William was the son of John and Dorothy Snoots. He married Margaret Munday and had 5 children. His wife died in 1896 and young son Walter died in 1872. He was survived by children William, Frank, Rosa Case and Charles, and several grandchildren. Brother Jonas and sisters Margaret Everhart and Mary Ann Compher also survived.
William was a shoemaker. He lived in Morrisonville. An obituary from the Brunswick, Maryland Herald states that he "suddenly dropped dead while holding open a sack down at Mr. A.C. George's stack yard. He had been in unusually good health, but complained somewhat that evening of a pain in his right side. The doctor pronounced it apoplexy."
William served in the Civil War in the 35th Virginia Battalion Calvary Co. A, C.S.A. His brother Charles also served, but in the Independent Loudoun Rangers, the only Union outfit from Virginia. This did not sit well with William and led to an unfortunate incident. At Waterford, VA, the brothers came face to face when Charles was taken prisoner. William wanted to shoot his own brother, and had to be stopped from doing so. Charles pointed out that William had an unfair advantage and if William would put down his weapon, Charles would really hurt him!
Charles died in 1869 and William named his youngest son Charles in 1875.
In 2008 William's stone is leaning forward very badly. In 2013, it was found fallen face down.
