William was the son of Matthew Hening (1 N) and Lavina Taylor, and figured into the mysterious history of the David Taylor tombstone featured at Rake Cemetery memorial # 95404318.
That story about Lavina's brother David reflects that this William's father died when William was an infant and his mother later remarried to Godfrey Aplin. While his mother grew her family of eight children with Aplin, her son William lived in 1850 with his grandparents Richard Taylor Sr. and Freedom Taylor.
William served in the Civil War. (Service and pension details will be added here.) So did his half-brother, Joseph Aplin, who is called Joseph "Appleton" in H.H.Hardesty's profile of William in the Washington County regional edition of Presidents, Soldiers, Statesmen. Joseph's memorial in Lucas County, Ohio, is #51273655, which is linked from his mother Lovina/Lavina's memorial.
It now appears most probable that William's mother, elderly stepfather, half-siblings and their locally married spouses all left Washington County in the early 1880s for northwest Ohio -- even though the exact location of the graves of Godfrey Aplin and some of his children are not fully known yet.
William's mother Lavina/Lovina and her children as linked below, so far, are buried in the northwestern Ohio counties of Wood (Bowling Green) and Lucas (Toledo) and the upper peninsula area of Michigan. Some of those children had married in Washington County, first, to spouses from the Rainbow area. At least one the spouses served in the Civil War, as did half-brothers William Henning and Joseph Aplin and as did William's uncle Richard Taylor Jr.
