Research Many trees on Ancestry and also Findagrave have his parents as Stephen & Rebecca and hence have him as a brother to Cornelius & Moses. William was not on the 1841 census of that household and we can't find a baptism records for him. If anyone has DNA proof please let us know. Our suspicion is that he is not the son of Stephen & Rebecca.10
