| Notes |
- Reared and educated in Noank, William learned the carpentry trade from his brother-in-law, Horace W. Davis. He became a trusted home builder, and was employed in Rhode Island for many years by Max & Co. of Pawcatuck, after which he became associated with the Palmer Company at Noank, having charge of the joiner shop in the shipyard for 30 years until 1900. He also found time to build several residences in the Groton area. He served on the board of selectmen, was a member of the board of relief, and spent 20 years as school district treasurer. He was a Mason, associated with the Charity and Relief Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Mystic, and the Chapter and Council. [2]
