Biography

According to a study of the descendants of Isaac Newman, Isaac had 10 children with Rachel Rhoads. William was the 7th child listed in that document, but note that several of the birth years of his siblings do not match those shown on WikiTree. His wife was Nancy G. Willis.[1]

William B married Nancy G. Willis on 26 November 1835 in Muhlenberg, Kentucky, United States.[2] The 1850 census shows them in Iowa with four children.[3]
