William was born to Henry Minter and Maria Spratt in England, in 1844.

He was married in England, at the age of 20, to Jane Lawrence in about 1865. They possibly had three children. It is not known as to the circumstances of William and Jane's separation, but in 1870, William arrived in the United States without his family.

William married Frances Cox, on May 14, 1874. William was working as a farm laborer (1880 census) in Cheltenham in the earlier time of their marriage.

Fannie and William had nine children together.

1. Dora Ella Minter, b. 1875 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1876; lived 18 months.

2. Charles Henry Minter, b. 1876 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1950 in Philadelphia; m. Mary Ann Elcock on Nov. 5, 1903. They had two children, Mildred Evelyn and Gladys Frances.

3. Flora Maria Minter, b. 1877 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1943 in Philadelphia; m. William Albert Hammer on Oct. 10, 1906. They had two children, Frances Alice and William Albert.

4. William A. Minter, b. 1879 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. about 1930 in Philadelphia; m. Ellen Buckingham.

5. Albert Edward Minter, b. 1881 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1970 in Sarasota, Florida; m. Lousia May Paterson in about 1910. They had two children, Albert Edward and Joseph Liscoe.

6. George R. Minter, b. 1883 in Maryland; d. about 1919 in Philadelphia; m. Elsie Louisa Craig in about 1908. They had two children, George Frederick and Lloyd Craig.

7. Martha Parker Minter, b. 1887 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1981 in Philadelphia; did not marry.

8. Mabel Edith Minter, b. 1888 in Elkins Park, Philadelphia; d. 1918 in Philadelphia; did not marry.

9. Evelyn Gertrude Minter, b. 1892 in South Carolina; d. 1958 in Norristown, Pennsylvania; m. Edward Pearle Rosenberger on Oct. 2, 1920. They had one child, Russell Edward.

In raising their family, Fannie and William lived primarily in the North Philadelphia area, although it can be seen by the location of the birth of their children that they spent some time in Maryland and South Carolina before coming back to Philadelphia to stay after 1900, living in the township of Abington, Montgomery County (census 1900).

In this 1900 census, William is listed as a "garden laborer".

William died at the age of 73, in 1918 and was buried with his wife, Fannie, in the St. Paul's Cemetery.
