He probably had already gone to Phillips before 1815 and lived there at least through the year 1837 when his son George as born. When he went west, he went to DearBorn Co., Indiana first and then to Sycamore, DeKalb Co., Illinois. It has been recorded that he lived in the Colby Whittemore house and owned a number of acres of land in a section where the Milia Ross house and the blacksmith shop once stood, as he gave that land to his daughter, Sally (Whitney) Quimby. He had twelve children recorded in Phillips, the same number as his father, Micah. William lived in Gorham, Gray and Phillips, Maine." "buried in Ohio Grove Cemetery, Cortland, DeKalb, Illinois" His birthdate is given as 1789 in the Phillips VR's, but all of the above sources are more contemporary and geographically reliable.
