  • Notes 
    • William married the daughter of Philip and Sarah Bettis. His parents are not known for certain. He appears on the census in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1830, 1840, and 1850. The 1850 census gives his birthplace as South Carolina but in Texas in 1880, his daughter gives his birthplace as Massachusetts.

      There is a 1798 land record in Spartanburg that says "next to the line of David Monroe" and because of the 1810 census of one Nancy Monroe and their proximity, it is believed this Nancy is the mother of William C. and the widow of the David Monroe of the land record.

      According to the obituary of his son, John Wesley, William died about 1850.

      By 1859, William's wife, Mary, and his sons, David, William A., and John Wesley, are in Hall County, Georgia. In about 1878, Mary moved to Texas with her son John Wesley and his family.
