William was the son of Thomas Archer and Rebecca Simpson. He married Nancy Ann "Missie Nira" Ballew in 1877 and thier children were: Osker Lee, Martha Jane, David Benjamin, an Infant Daughter, James Elmer, Rebecca Edith, Thomas Harlan, and Frances Faye Archer.
After his father's death (no record), his mother married James M. P. Gilmore. William grew up in Vernon County, Missouri. His mother, step-father, and son Osker are buried there at Avola Cemetery.
William was a fifteen year old scout for the Confederate Army in Missouri. He was wounded at Lone Jack and captured in Neosho; a prisoner of war in St. Louis and released at the end of the war.
He was a resident of the Checotah IOOF Odd Fellow Home in McIntosh County, Oklahoma from August 31, 1924 until May 18, 1925. On April 11, 1930 he was enumerated as an inmate at the County Poor Farm in Burnham Township in Pawnee County, Oklahoma.
In 1930, both William and Nira listed themselves as being widowed; perhaps they had been separated for some years and lost track of each other, each assuming the other had died. In 1930, Nira was living with her daughter Edith in Kansas.
William is buried on the south side of Historic Route 66. His great nephew Jimmie Everett Archer (grandson of his brother James M. Archer), is buried across the highway in the northern section of the cemetery.
