William Enlisted as a Private for the Union side in Company F, 1st Cavalry Regiment Nevada. Regimental History First Nevada Cavalry Battalion, NEVADA (3-YEARS) First Nevada Cavalry Battalion. -- Lieut.-Cols., A. A. C. Williams, Milo George; Majs., A. A. C. Williams, Milo George, Noyes Baldwin. This battalion of six companies was organized at Fort Churchill, Nev., where it was mustered into the U. S. service between June 17, 1863, and April 5, 1864, for three years. Cos. D and E and a detachment of 20 men of Co. F were mustered out at Fort Churchill Nov. 18, 1865; A B and C were mustered out July 12, and F July 21, 1866, being the last organization from Nevada in the service of the United States. It participated in the Indian fights at Pyramid Lake, where it had 1 man wounded, and Table Mountain, where it lost 2 killed and 1 wounded. Small detachments of the command had numerous skirmishes with the Indians while on scouting duty, and the battalion saw much arduous service while garrisoning the exposed frontier posts, or performing escort duty along the overland emigrant route. Source: The Union Army, vol. 4, p. 448 In the 1850 & 1860 Census, William was living at home with his parents. After his military service in 1868 he is living in Sacramento, CA and is listed in the California Biographical Great Books, 1867 and 1872 as a Merchant. In 1882 in the California Voter Registers, 1866-1898, he is living in San Francisco, California with occupation as Merchant. Ten years later in 1892 William is living in Napa County, CA in the Veterans Home of California and he is teaching music. In the 1900 & 1910 Census William is living in the Veterans Home and states that he is widowed. I have not found any records of a marriage or who he was married to or if he ever had any children.
