Research Notes
FInd a Grave indicates a birth date of 11 Oct 1811 and death date of 27 Dec 1886. These are the same as reported for his wife. Also, his wife is listed as widowed in 1880 Census and living without WIlliam in 18050-1870 census. He is presumed to have died between 1846 when his youngest child was born and the 1850 Census. Find a Grave is assumed to be incorrect.[1]
