William was the youngest of eight children. He married Eliza Lyons on September 19, 1859 at Goulbourn. The family appeared on the 1861 and 1817 census in Goulbourn, where they farmed. In July 1878 the family boated across Lake Superior and entered the United States through the Port of Duluth, Minnesota. Traveling down the Red River into the Dakota Territory, they then settled near what is now Manvel. In 1883 the Red River overflowed, ruining the crops and forcing the family to move to the Osnabrock area. William became a US citizen on June 3, 1890, at age 51. Not long after the turn of the century, the family moved across the border to Cartwright, Manitoba, Canada. While visiting his daughter in Osnabrock, William died after a short illness from liver disease. He was buried at the old homestead in Osnabrock, later reinterred at the Union Cemetery. He was the father of ten children -- John, Elizabeth, Hiram, Margaret, Mary Jane, Amanda, William, Samuel, Sarah, and another William.

William married Elizabeth "Eliza" Lyons on 19 Sep 1859 in Goulbourn Township, Carleton County, Canada West. Elizabeth (daughter of Samuel Lyons, Sr. and Elizabeth Simpson) was born on 14 Mar 1836 in Goulbourn Township, Carleton County, Canada West; was christened on 20 Mar 1837 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; died on 10 Sep 1919 in Cartwright, Cartwright-Roblin, Pilot Mound Census Division, Manitoba, Canada; was buried on 12 Sep 1919 in Cartwright Cemetery, Cartwright, Pilot Mound Census Division, Manitoba, Canada.

Eliza was born, raised, and wed at Goulbourn Township. She married William Sykes, a farmer, on September 19, 1859. They farmed in the area until moving to the Dakota Territory in 1878. Soon after the turn of the century, they moved across the border to Manitoba. Eliza died at age 83 after contacting bronchitis, which proved too much for her advanced age. She had been living with her son William since her husband's death in 1904. She was the mother of 10 children -- John, Elizabeth, Hiram, Margaret, Mary Jane, Amanda, William, Samuel, Sarah, and another William. At the time of her death, Eliza was the grandmother of 41 and the great-grandmother of 51.
