The following is quoted from "The History of Luzerne Co." by Bradsby: "William remained on the homestead until having attained his majority, he followed the example of his father by serving four years in the war of 1812. On his return to citizenship, he removed to what is now Franklin township on a farm of fifty acres. He married Miss Anna Brace and by her had three children, Sarah, Lydia, and Joseph, one of whom, Sarah, is now living. William was an honest and industrious man, a Democrat, who had influence with his party, a good citizen, and did much to improve the town in which he lived. He died in 1808, at the age of seventy-five."
