Household

Below is a list of known members of William's household. When birth year is not found using primary sources, no source is listed. Unsourced birth years are hypotheses only. Since William states in his will that he was married twice, both wives are included in the table. This is in the hopes someone can identify this wife and/or locate William in the 1800 and 1810 census records.
