William was one of the first Catholic sett lers in Daviess County,
arriving at a time when the county was still a wilder ness. Early Church
records reveal that William often used his home as the fi rst meeting
place in the county for those first Catholic settlers. He sold la nd on 2
October 1837 for the building of a new church.

An early lawsuit of Daviess County, dated Feb 3, 1816 indicates that
William was in Daviess Coun ty prior to 1830 to survey land and purchase
property. The lawsuit references lots purchased in Owensboro on May 6,
1817, yet the first recorded deed in t he courthouseis dated Aug 12, 1835.

William's will was written on May 8, 184 1, but not probated until July 3,
1844. Noted on the original document at the courthouse that a fire
destroyed the original document and that the family r equested it be
copied in its originality back into the will book. His son, Fe lix, was
the administrator of his estate.
