He married Eliza Hadley, the daughter of Samuel D. and Elizabeth, at Salem, MA on April 25, 1839 and was father to William W., born ca. 1843; Alfred D., born ca. 1844, Thomas R., born in 1849, and Eliza, born in 1854. William was recorded as Secretary of a Loan Company and resided in Cambridge per the 1855 census.
William, who had long been involved with the Massachusetts Militia, was appointed by Massachusetts Gov. John Andrew as Lieutenant Colonel in the 30th Massachusetts on March 7, 1862. His regiment was evidently already encamped on Ship Island MS when he joined them and were involved in operations against Fort St. Phillip and Jackson, taking occupation of the latter Mississippi River fortification in April 1862 The May and June 1862 muster roll indicates he was absent and placed in command of Ft. Macomb, located on the Chef Menteur Pass, a water route from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Pontchartrain, near New Orleans, until the Nov.-Dec. 1862 roll states he had returned to the regiment, which at time was garrisoned at New Orleans. By May 1863 he was in command of the 30th Massachusetts, but was never formally promoted to the rank of Colonel. The regiment was involved in the siege, assault, and surrender of Port Hudson from May to July 1863.
William was arrested on or about August 21, 1863 for disobedience of an order. It's unknown how long he was under arrest, however, he resumed command of the regiment and served in this capacity until receiving an honorable discharge on Nov. 25, 1863.
William worked for the Custom House in Boston as a Clerk and Measurer following his military service while housing his family in Everett per the 1870 census. Widowed in 1879, he was 62 when he died of "Paralysis" in Everett and was interred beside his wife Eliza at Woodlawn Cemetery.
