He was also a mentor to Yale students prior to the establishment of that University's School of Architecture.
He married Abigail Treat, daughter of Stephen Atwater Treat and Cornelia H. Bull of Milford, CT on April 20, 1830 in New Haven, CT. She gave birth to five children:
Mary L. (born 1832)
William W. (born 1833)
Harriet T. (born 1836 who died as an infant)

Harriett M. (born 1844) FindaGrave # 21922
Harriett grew up to be the bestselling author of the Five Little Peppers children's series, although her fame did not come until after her father's death. In her later years she confided that when she first learned she was to become a published author she decided to use a pen name in deference to her father who she said "looked with disfavor on young women who wrote for publication". She chose the name 'Margaret Sidney', taking his first name as her last in his honor.
