Biography
William died before his father and therefore was not mentioned in the will. The fact Jonathan Esham received a payment from William's estate would seem to indicate there was a family relationship, probably brothers.
The estate of William Esham was filed 1768 in Somerset County, Maryland. [1]
The estate inventory provides clues to family relationships. [2]
