The earliest appears to be Alonzo H. Quint (NEHGR, Vol. VII, "Genealogical Items relating to the Early Settlers of Dover, N.H.": https://archive.org/details/newenglandhisto12unkngoog/page/n48/mode/2up):
William,2 son of John,1 as in Fam. 1, had a wife, but left no children, so far as we have ascertained. "He deceased about 1675, Nov. 1." One half of his property went to his widow; the other half to Edward Leathers.
However, this William is rather definitively identified elsewhere as William Beard (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beard-5078) (see History of the Town of Durham, New Hampshire (Oyster River Plantation); Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Vol. II; Probate Records of the Province of New Hampshire, Vol. I).
See also:
Quint, NEHGR, Vol. V, "Genealogical Items relating to the Early Settlers of Dover, N.H.": Beard. ... William, of O.R., sold his premises there, 16 June, 1640, to Francis Matthews, but continued to live at O.R. He was taxed 1648-1672; selectman 1660, &c. He was the "good old man named Beard," who was killed at O.R., 1675. His inventory was entered 2 March, 1677-8; wife Elizabeth.
Hubbard, A Narrative of the Indian Wars in New-England: Soon after this they assaulted another house at Oyster River, notwithstanding it was garrisoned, and meeting with a good old man, whose name was Beard, without the garrison, they killed him upon the place, and in a barbarous manner cut off his head, and set it upon a pole in derision.
I would posit that there was no son of John and Elizabeth (Hull) Heard named William, as he is not named elsewhere.
This William should probably be detached from parents Heard and Hull, renamed, and merged with [Beard-5078|William Beard].
