Included here to show the headstone in its family context.
I assume, but have not yet found proof, that William's father Sampson is probably a son of Sampson and Joan (BLANCHARD) DAWE.
Several descendants ended up at Willunga in South Australia, with one, Sampson, slate quarrying there. This latter relationship/story depends on Sampson's father John belonging to William's family, not yet proven.^8,9
