Birth*circa 1784 "He died in 1834 aged fifty years."2 
Death*1834 2 
Note*1839 "My Brother William was a most aimable and affectionate man liberal and generous to a fault. His friends never left him, without being fed and clothed, while he had credit or any thing in his purse. He had acted as sherriff, and deputy Marshal of the state; offices which his kindly and indulgent disposition, rendered him very unfit for a prompt discharge of the duties. In the war of 1812, he was appointed a first Leiut in the regular army his intrepecity in the front of battle, his aimiable cheerful disposition, rendered him populer with his superiors: he was appointed on Adjutent - then aid to Gen Riply - then a Captain - next a Major - At the close of the war, he was retained on the peace establishment, as deputy inspector Genl. He married and left three sons and two daughters."2
