In 1787,
William married Margaret Holland, who had come to America
from Wales. She was born in 1757. According to the 1790
census, they
were residing in Baltimore County, Maryland in Mine Run Hundred.
At
that time, two female children were shown on the census information.
William moved to Tippecanoe, Harrison County, Ohio
in 1814. He was
one of the first settlers in the town of Tippecanoe. However, at
the time
Margaret
and he moved there, the town was known as Norrisville. It was
renamed
Tippecanoe in 1840. William bought land under a patent issued by
President James
Madison on March 13, 1815. Another source for land Patent has the date
of 4/6/1814. A Peter Markey had a land patent for 160.75 acres on
6/14/1814. The deed wasn't recorded until June 2,
1819, which reportedly represented the date that the purchase price was
paid in full. There were 167.1 acres on his land, which was
located
in
the north- east quarter of Section 24, Township 12, Range 7.
