| Notes |
- William grew up in York County, Ontario, Canada, attending the schools of that region. On reaching manhood, he decided upon farming as the most congenial business for him and followed that occupation through his active life. In 1871, he was living with his family in Markham Township, Ontario and the 1878 Atlas for York County, Markham Township lists him as owning Lot 19, Conc. 3.
He married, Phoebe Anne, the daughter of Peter and Mercy (Marr) Wilmot. She was one of 10 children.
In politics he was a reformer, although he took no active part. In religion he was a Methodist. He was an auditor of the church books in Mar 1885 in Headford. In 1887 he was one of the trustees and is mentioned several times in the secretary's minutes until 1892. He paid pew rent for other families and bought dishes, hymn books etc. for the church.
In 1892, he moved to 783 Gerrard Street East in Toronto. About this time, his farm was mortgaged and lost. His son, Newberry, may have been in Toronto at this time, possibly in business. He died in Toronto in 1899.
