William married twice; first to Elizabeth ROBINS on Jan. 23, 1734 and then to Henrietta Maria TILGHMAN Robbins on Sep. 2, 1747.

Elizabeth was the sister of George ROBINS and after their deaths, he married Henrietta Maria who was the widow of George.

His four children birthed by Elizabeth were Greenberry, Henrietta Maria, William, and Elizabeth who died as infants. They were all buried close to Elizabeth at the Robins family estate of Peach Blossom; later the headstones were removed to the Ashby-Goldsborough Family Cemetery, the original Goldsborough property in Talbot County. There is no evidence that the remains were moved to Ashby, however.

William had no offspring by his marriage to Henrietta Maria; she had six children by her previous marriage to George Robins.

William Goldsborough, at the time of his death, was a member of the Lord Proprietor's Council, judge of the Provincial Court, and judge of the Court of Admiralty.
