Could be??? The only William I have born before 1871, is William L.. He did have a brother, Reuben D.. Reuben is listed next door to him in the 1850 Census in Wapello Co., IA.. Reuben is also listed in the 1830 Miami Co., OH. Census with William L.. We do know for sure that our William L. died by 1855, as his son Riley was born after his father died. The interesting part of this, is I truly believe William L. had another family before he married Elizabeth Pinor in 1846. He had a family in the 1830 Miami Co. Census that does not match anything in the 1850 Census??? You could have the missing family, but as yet, I have no way to prove that????
