William married first Elizabeth Tompson in Gloucester on March 21, 1718. The registry follows: "She was drowned in the harbor Nov 3 1718."

William married 2nd Mary (Hammans) Flinn or Flin (also her 2nd marriage) in Gloucester on January 26, 1720/21 by Rev. Tompson, their marriage intentions having been filed on January 7, 1720/21. Quoting an old hand-scribed marriage registry: "William Nelson and Mary Flinn both of this town were married January 26 1720/21 by the Rev'd Mr. Samuel Tompson, Pastor of ye 2nd CH in Gloucester."
