William was born according to family sources/lore in London, England and married Sarah Holmes there before they both came to Canada and raised a family with 12 children.
They had lived in the Bothwell area of Kent County, eventually residing in Camden Twp near Dawn Mills, living in their log cabin and farming the land in Concession 9, on the E1/2 of lot 2.
(new research May 2011 suggests William may have been christened 2 weeks after he was born on 28 May 1797 in Forden, Montgomeryshire, Wales, having parents named John and Mary... If correct, this would mean he was born most likely in about the same place in Wales; perhaps 5 miles to the NNW of the church at Forden in a place known as "Llwydiarth".
In addition, William and Sarah's 2nd & 3rd children were named John and Mary...
His son Wm. Jr's death certificate refers to William being b. Wales as well)
