10 Nov 1887, Republican Journal, Belfast, Me, about the shipping fleet. "In the first place is the schooner Willie Parkman. She has secured, I think, only 25 barrels of mackerel this season. She is commanded by Captain William Henry Banks of North Haven, one of the best gentlemen afloat or on shore. He a veteran of the North Haven fleet, and generally been as successful as he is brave. But this year it has been all bravery and no success with him. Let me stop right here to tell you what he did one night this season. It was off the 'Cape Shore' which is a name we have for a part of Nova Scotia along by Cape Sable. It was one of the darkest nights of the year, the storm raging was one of the worst of the season, and all hands were working to reduce sail on the Willie Parkman. One of the crew, Brigney Dyer, was out on the main boom helping reef the mainsail. Of a sudden, by a slat of a sail, he was knocked into the sea. On any other vessel or with any other captain, he would have been given up for lost. But Old Captain Banks, with the weight of sixty years upon him, called for a volunteer and jumping into a dory pulled for Dyer and rescued him just as he was sinking. It was the bravest deed of the season: and it is pretty hard times when under a man of that sort, a crew can't earn their salt.
In 1900, 66-year-old William & 64-year-old Lucretia are on North Haven where he is working as a fisherman. He cites birth of Jan 1834; she cites Oct 1835.
