An excerpt from a family member's history:
William married Margaret Ann James in 1855. They were the parents of 9 children. William took a second wife, Sarah Cornick, in 1872, and with her, had 7 children. William was a leader not only in his family, but also in the community. He participated in the Echo Canyon War during the winter of 1857-1858. He returned home for a short time, and was asked again to return to Echo Canyon for guard duty. His wife, Margaret accompanied him on the second trip. They returned home in April to find the residents of Herriman packed and ready to evacuate the settlement. They traveled south with the community spending about three months near Payson, and then returning to Herriman.
Margaret died on May 22nd, 1911 in Herriman, UT and was buried in the Herriman Cemetery.
*Most likely Charles' second plural wife, who was listed as a widow (she wasn't).
