Biography

William Faucett was born in Feb 1837 in Ireland according to most US Documents. There are several family trees that show Mayo, Ireland as his birthplace. I can't find documents to prove this. I did, however, find a passenger list with a baby born at sea with William Faucett as the name. Since his birth year and immigration arrival year are the same, I am continuing to research this theory. If you look in the Sources, Faucett spelled many different ways. I have used the name Faucett spelled this way because his descendants adopted this spelling. Since William could not read or write, he was at the mercy of those who took record to guess how his name was spelled.

William came to Porterfield, Marinette County, Wisconsin in 1840 As reported on the 1900 Census, 1837 according to the 1910 Census. I have yet to find his immigration records to confirm either date.

He married Ellen Wines in 1857 according to the 1900 Census, I have not been able to locate a marriage record.

His son William Henry was born on January 9, 1857, in Michigan.

His daughter Anna Mary was born on July 17, 1859, in Menominee, Michigan.

In 1860 William was living Delta, Delta County, Michigan with real estate valued at $800 and personal property valued at $300

His daughter Polley was born about 1861, in Wisconsin.

His son James was born in 1868 in Wisconsin.

His son Jesse was born in 1870 in Wisconsin.

The 1870 Census locates him in Marinette, Oconto County, Wisconsin. We learn that he is Age 35, a Male, White, Farmer, both parents are foreign birth, he cannot read or write. He and Ellen lived next to William H Wines and Mary Maxfield according to the register.

His son Frederick was born on March 24, 1873, in Wisconsin.

His son Lester Earl was born on May 24, 1876, in Wisconsin.

His son Frank was born in 1878 in Menominee, Michigan.

In 1880 he lived in Marinette, Marinette County, Wisconsin. According to the census he was born in Ireland, his father was born Ireland, and his mother was born Ireland. William Henry and Mary Sophia are living in their household at the time of the census that year.

His son Albert Antha was born on June 15, 1882, in Wisconsin.

His son Jesse passed away on May 20, 1889, in Menominee, Michigan, at the age of 19.

In 1900 he owned his own farm Porterfield town, Marinette County, Wisconsin

I do not have a death record or grave for William, but In 1920 the Census reports Ellen as Widowed.
