Notes - William is most probably the witness to his brother Henry's sale of land to George McGillis on Oct. 24, 1803 in Newberry County Courthouse records. Benjamin Long was the other witness. William was likely an early settler in the Clarksvilmunity which was the Mississippi territory (later to become Alabama) sometime after 1810 when he was listed in a deed of sale by heirs of John Coate in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Court was held at his home until the town was started near his property. He and an Elijah Coates were listed in the 1813 tax records for that county. He owned a large plantation and census records indicate that by 1840 he had seven slaves in his household. He purchased 159 acres at 2 E 1/2SE 18/ 9-N St. Stephens on Mar 1, 1859 (C-2062).
He was listed at age 63 in the 1850 Clarke Co., AL census. Wife Nancy was age 52 and son Miles was age 11, b. AL. William was listed at age 75 in the 1860 Grove Hill, Clarke Co, AL census. He was born in SC and Nancy, his wife, was age 62, b. in Georgia. (C-1544b, 1599, 1794)
