Marriage in 1861 to Jerusha Adeline Ratcliff.
William Otto Written was an educated man from Hamburg, Germany. He spoke and wrote seven languages. His estate still survives in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana near Morgan City. It was originally vast and consisted of an estimated one thousand acres. Through the years after his passing this estate has gotten smaller to the current 200 acres. He lived and raised his entire family on this land, which he hunted, fished and trapped. The last family member who lived on this property was Matilda Written. Until 2002 this home was still visible from the shoreline of the estate. (Ancestry by Glyn Meranto)
