Biography

William was born about 1873. He is the presumed son of Thomas Kindness and Marleah Moulton. He is documented in census records as "Indian". Layton clearly raised William, but research suggests it is highly unlikely William is his biological child.

DNA testing does suggest William is a biological descendant of Eli Moulton and his wife Catherine Metallic. It is unclear at this time (2022) if he is the son, grandson, or nephew of Marleah Moulton Kanistanaux. The following kits at gedmatch represent documented descendants of William - M272859, A698422, A984618. His predicted y-DNA haplogroup according to 23andMe is I2b1. This is a European haplogroup, so Williams direct male line is European. His descendants show Native American ethnicity in the 5-10% range.
