William's daughter Mary gave him at least two grandchildren, Hope Marrietta (Stephens) Drew and Truth Arnitia (Stephens) Lonergan who were likely twins since they were both 8 years old in the 1911 Canada census.

Bro. Brown was baptized by Rev. Nathanial Vidito and received into the Nictaux Baptist church when he was 18 years old. “He has borne the burden and heat of the day” and has entered into rest. He was one who felt the power of the gospel. It was always a privilege to go with him over the days when the Lord wrought mightily in the midst of his people. His exhortation in the conference meeting was a benediction. We shall miss him much, but we trust that his mantle will fall on others. A widow, one daughter, and three sons mourn his loss. One of these sons is our faithful and esteemed Rev. Maynard Brown of Tusket church, Yarmouth Co. Contributor: Ric Noble (47989037) •
