William and Sarah were the parents of 15 children. In the early 1850's William and Sarah left Rush County and settled in Jasper Co, IL along with some of their children and were living there when the 1855 Census was taken. But a few years later, he and Sarah moved back to Indiana, settling in Pike Twp in Marion County where William wrote his will and died August 11th, 1859. His place of burial is unknown, but is possibly in Crown Hill Cemetery in Pike Twp, as that is where his son Henry is buried.
