William was united in marriage five times during his 64 years of life:

Greenleaf, on May 14th, 1824. William and Sabra were blessed with three
children:

Elizabeth Blackman Thurston
Mary Greenleaf Thurston Barnes
William Gates Thurston
William was left a widow upon Sabra's death in 1851.

Second to Mary Moffat, believed to be one of the daughters born to William and Rebecca Moffat, on March 23, 1851. William and Mary were blessed with
one child:

John Henry Thurston
William was possibly left a widow again after Mary's death in 1854.

Third to: Sarah Ann Forbes Carpenter Thurston Youngman, one of the daughters of George Forbes and his wife Avery Ann Kirkman, on April 26, 1854. William and Sarah were blessed with a daughter:

Emma Jane Thurston Schmoll
William and Sarah Ann divorced in approximately 1858.

Fourth to: Jane L. Thomas. No children were apparently born during their marriage. William was apparently made a widow again upon the death of Jane.

Fifth to: Mrs. Isabel M. Bannan. It is believed tha no children were born during their marriage. Isabel was living with William in Monticello, Lewis, Missouri when he passed away.

Research is still pending regarding the two of the wives and one of the children of William Thurston.
