  • Notes 
    • William was likely the first settler in the Clarksville Community which was the Missippi territory in the year 1800 when he came (later to become Alabama). 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)
