On 24 Apr 1858, he married Tarilla Smith with whom he had daughters, Elizabeth Vilanda and Martha Arminda. Tarilla is said to have died about 1915 in Mississippi Co, Arkansas. Elizabeth was born Jun 1858 and the first wife of Harvey Poe Amason. They had 6 children at the time of the 1900 census. Martha had 2 children who used the surname Nobles .

William enlisted with the 2nd Kentucky Calvary, Co G, in Blountsville AL on 14 May 1862. His company was engaged at the battle of Buffington Island, Ohio, where he was captured on 19 Jul 1863. Records show he was received on 23 July 1863 at Camp Morton, Indiana, then transferred to Camp Douglas, IL where he was received on 18 Aug 1863. Documents from Camp Douglas show the names of 42 other soldiers from his company. After having been a prisoner of war for 18 months, he died on 11 Jan 1865. Prison records simply state "Debility" after his death date. His widow filed for a pension listing his cause of death as small pox. She was likely given this information from others of his company who survived their time at Camp Douglas and returned home after the war.
