He immigrated to America with his parents in 1772 and lived near Fort Edward, New York with them. At the approach of General Burgoyne and his army, William and his brother Duncan served as guides. When Burgoyne was forced to capitulate in October 1777, many men fled to Canada, but the Scottish in Argyle Town, of a whole, returned to their farms. William joined the King’s Rangers under command of Major James Rogers in May 1780. He was listed as a sergeant of the Kings Rangers during the American Revolution and moved to Fredericksburgh in 1784 as a United Empire Loyalist. William married Ann Carscallen on April 5, 1785.

After their marriage William and Ann came as pioneers to Lot 19, Concession 1 between Newburgh and Camden East and settled on a farm on the south side of Napanee River about a mile east of Newburgh. The adjoining Lot 18 was deeded to William Bell in 1806. The Bells built a stone house on Lot 19 which still stands and is in use to this day. William was First Captain of Militia forces in the County of Lennox. His commission was signed by H. Spencer, a member of the first Upper Canada Legislature. William died on April 4, 1837 at his farm near Newburgh in what is now Ontario. Ann died on January 18, 1850 at Camden East, Ontario.
