He was married to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Francis Montgomery, who was a wealthy man and a slave owner in Virginia, and after he came to Kentucky, owned 2,000 acres of land in Adair County and many slaves. He was the father of three daughters and five sons, all of whom were in fine financial circumstances. In 1804 William Epperson came with his father-in-law to Adair County, KY, and became the owner of 1,000 acres of land. He built a mill on Russell Creek in 1819 to grind wheat and corn, which mill is still standing and being run regularly (1886). He built a saw-mill also on Russell Creek in 1834. Although he owned a large body of land, he turned his entire attention to milling, having his farm cultivated by his sons and his slaves. His estate at his death, 27-Aug-1852, was worth $18,000. His religious faith was first with the Baptist Church, afterward with the Christian Church. (from the biography of John Jefferson Epperson, 1886)
