The 1854 Texas Census shows the family in Upshur County and in 1855 Elder & Charter Member of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, Upshur Co., Tx. William was a school teacher. During the Civil War he enlisted as a Sergeant in the Confederate States Army at Paris, Tx. in Company D of a 'regular' Texas infantry regiment 10th Texas Regiment Cleburne's Division with rolls showing as W.
