Information available about William varies within the different sources as to year for birth. Also some census information either for himself or for his descendants lists him as being born in Scotland. England shows on most of his actual documents. The birthdate and death years that I'm posting come from the cemetery records where he is buried.
Per one of his decendants: "It has been told that William was shipped over to America from England as a soldier. When the war was over, England returned high ranking officers but left low ranking personnel here to fend for themselves. William was married twice. No information about the first wife. Second wife was Elizabeth Walsh."
William and Elizabeth lived in Canada at some point and their first two children were born in Canada. At the time of their third child's birth in 1851 they were living in Michigan. By 1860, they were living north east of Clarksville, Iowa on neighboring farms with Elizabeth's siblings, Thomas and Susanna.
In her later years, William's granddaugther, Lizzie Hesalroad had a headstone put on William's grave in Old Town Cemtery.
-- In addition to the children linked below, William and Elizabeth had a daughter, Emma. Emma was born Abt. 1844 in Canada and she is not with her family in the 1860 census. Nothing more on her. --
