William’s wife, Mary (of Stony Hill, Richmond District) died in 1867 giving birth to their eighth child Thomas. This left William with 8 children ranging in age from 16 to a baby.
William’s youngest sister Harriet had married William Watson of Newborough Grange, Byrne.
Their marriage was childless but the couple “adopted” Mary Ann as a three year old and she lived and grew up with them at Byrne.
His remains were brought back to Isipingo so they could be interred next to his wife Mary. His headstone records this.
