William died on 11-10-1776 on Groningen, at the age of about 64 years.
William married, at the age of about 23 years, on 24-08-1735 in Groningen (Waals Hervormde" Church of the "Pelstergasthuis) Rembertina Maria van Iddekinge, aged 22 years.

William went to Groningen to study. His parents did not approve of his marriage to Maria Rembertina, and they refused to countenance or assist him or his family, undoubtedly motivating him to remain in Holland the rest of his life. He and his children had now become thoroughly Dutch. He lived in a house on Oosterstraat in Groningen, as did his father-in-law and brother-in-law Anton Adriaan van Iddekinge.
