Next to nothing is known about William. He lived in Jackson County, Georgia, in the 1820's when some of his children were born. In 1840 a child was born in Clarke County. William was living at the time of the 1850 census apparently.
His wife was Nancy Wood, children Mary, Sarah, Alfred, William, Elizabeth, James, Jesse, Susan.
The family was unusual in that they were the first in my line in that area who were not farmers. They worked in factories in Athens, later moving east to work in cotton mills in Augusta and South Carolina.
This is not the same William who was in Bulloch County at the same time.
