William Monterville Addington was born to farmer Henry Addington (1789-1878) and wife Mary Weaver (1795-1859). He was raised in Macon County, NC and had a number of siblings:
Jacob Weaver Addington (1819-1898)
Susanna Matilda Addington Dobson (1821-1840)
John Hardy Addington (1823-1894)
James Newton Addington (1829-1830)
James Brumlow Addington (1831-1914)
William was married to Virginia R. Trotter
.
At the start of the War Between the States, William was quarter master of 1st North Carolina Cavalry Regiment, Co. K, and he ended the war with the rank of captain. Ironically, most if not the rest of the Addingtons were either neutral or opposed to secession and/or the war, and served the CSA, in some capacity, as a matter of survival.
William is buried with Virginia at the First United Methodist Church Cemetery in Franklin, NC, among ancestors, other relatives and allied families.
