He married Phoebe Howe in 1779 at Vermont. William died on 27 December 1828 at Ashley Family Cemetery-Floyd Farm, South of Ithaca, Darke, Ohio, USA-- at age 70. Actually Phoebe and William were buried at the foot of the hill on the Ashley Farm. Later in the
20th Century the DAR put up a tombstone in the Ithaca Cemetery, though I believe his (and Phoebe's remains) may still be at the
Ashley farm now where a 2 room school house sits from the early 20th century.
