He died 05/18/1871 in Appanoose County, Iowa. On census records for 1850 Putham County, Indiana he is listed with his wife then, named Rachael Adams. He was 60 years old on it. His first born was William Jr. who was 15 years old on the census. Rachael was listed as born in Ky. His first wife was named Sarah and do not know her last name. Could never find her name and his on census. I do have a William Sales listed on the 1830 Bledsoe County, Tenn. but no name for children or spouse listed on it. I do believe that Cornelius was related but can not figure out where my William comes in yet? Does this help you any? Are you related? Violet
