William was married three times during his life. He married Charlotte Rector, 9 Dec 1828, Rhea County, Tennessee. They had two sons and two or three daughters. His second wife was, Emeline Broyles. They married, 2 May 1842. Together they had one son and six or seven daughters. His third wife was, Elizabeth Keene. She had a son and daughter from a previous marriage. William and she had a daughter.
William left Kentucky. He lived in Palo Pinto County,Texas for a while. He then moved on to Colfax County, New Mexico. He was a rancher by trade. Later on, when he was up in years, he moved to Mule Creek, Grant County, New Mexico. There he found a valley of grass, water, live oak, pinon and juniper trees. When he knew he would soon be passing on, he asked someone to go with him upon a higher level of the valley, above his home. He pointed out a place between two juniper trees, saying "I want to be buried here." William had found his final resting place.
Today, that area of his ranch is called, Harden Cienega. The spelling of his name changed through the years.
