Making any progress on your Dayton mayor question? I didn't look to see if we ever had one named William... And I'm not sure how you'd locate a Civil War book with only the author's first name? Occurs to me that the 1880 Beers History of Montgomery county, or one of the other Dayton/Montgomery county histories published after that might mention this mayor and/or his book, but again, without a last name, I'm not sure how you'd locate anything.
