| Notes |
- He was born in Scotland in 1761, married Catherine in c. 1801, and moved to Fannin County in 1844. William first served in the North Carolina Militia beginning November 1777, and ending May, 1778. His first enlistment took him from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Camden, South Carolina, to within ten miles of Charleston and on to Savannah. He was discharged in South Carolina at Smokey Camp on the Savannah River. Following his discharge, he served as a "Minuteman" between times of active duty. His second term of service was June, 1781 until October, 1781, under Major General Nathan Greene and was at the Battle of Eutau Springs in Maryland. He was discharged in North Carolina near the shallow ford on the Yadkin River. He moved to Union County (now Fannin) where land was fresher and less expensive.
