William's father may have been a man whose last name was Terrill, who may have been a "traveling man" or salesman.

William's 1st marriage was to Catherine Jones, 2nd marriage to Elizabeth Terrozena Liberal, and 3rd marriage to Catherine Jones (for the second time).

According to Vietta Jones Keith ([email protected]): Following her 1st marriage to William, Catherine Jones married George Washington Hounchell, who was a widower at the time of the marriage. Catherine and George raised a large family. Following the death of George Washington Hounchell, Catherine married and divorced William a second time. One of Catherine's daughters (Vance) with George married one of William's son (Richard Monroe) by Elizabeth. Also, Nancy "Nannie" Dezarn married George Washington Hounchell's nephew. Vance, Richard Monroe, and Nannie testified at the hearing for William and Catherine's second divorce.
