The news clipping posted to the lower right details the 1794 tragic event in the family of William Gott. This news story, which appeared in more than one paper, appears to be the only surviving account of this event.
William married second to Rhoda Knapp, who was from Leeds. This exact date of the marriage is not known, but the Wayne town history lists William's first child by his second wife as born on October 6, 1795.
William and Rhoda had about fourteen children born from the years 1795 to 1821. Most of the children were born in Greene, and they moved to Wayne before 1810. According to the Wayne town history, they lived on just to the south of this cemetery, near the border to Leeds. The farm was later owned by William's son-in-law Otis Howard.
