William was a third Sergeant under Captain William Strong in Company "A", First Regiment of the Washington Mounted rifles during the Indian Wars of 1855. His military records of 1856 describe him as: age 28, 6 foot 1 inch tall, blue eyes, black hair, dark complexion, born Kentucky and occupation farmer.
