  • Notes 
    • In 1688, William received that portion of his father's lands which lay south of the road now forming Greenoak, Tvelling, and Main Streets, and Newtown Avenue. The road divided his land from those of his brother Samuel on the north.

      William served as a justice of the peace, and was captain of one of the foot companies. He died on 18 Aug 1729 in Hallet's Cove at the age of 81.
