William Henry Pickney Phyfe is noted as the grandson of Duncan Phyfe in the recently published book on Duncan Phyfe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art published the book in Dec 2011.
There is some confusion about his father's birth and death dates, which are clearly shown in these cemetery records, and in the 1850 Census, which matches his tombstone records perfectly.
William is reported to have attended Columbia College, supported in this effort by his father. He lived at 12 E 43d, New York, New York, from 1880 through 1889, according to the New York City Directory.
