Baptised 20 May 1743, Holbeton3
Died 15 June 1825, Holbeton4

William seems to have been close to the family of his brother Andrew. He was appointed guardian to Andrew's children during their minority, both his own having died very young, and the inscription on his gravestone may have been genuinely felt. He is buried beside the grave of his second daughter, who is unusual in having a headstone.
In the will of his brother he is described as 'of Calstone', but he purchased the farm at Ashford, Aveton Gifford, which passed to his nephew Andrew who seems to have been residuary legatee of his estate.
