He was an attorney and Justice of the Peace in Coosa Co., AL in 1865.
William was shot and killed in a saloon fight over a barmaid, so the family story says.
He appears in the 1860 Census, but in 1870, Annie his wife is listed as a widow in Etowah County. (His death appears to be between 1865 and late 1869 or early in January 1870 as minutes from Alabama Senate on 28 Jan, 1870 have a request for relief for Ann M. Sassnett who is his widow.) As of yet, there have been no other death records found.
