William was a carpenter, a mason, a miller, a violinist, a farmer, a brewer and a stockman. He also served as a dentist when needed. Because Polygamy was endorsed for church leaders, which William was, he married Mary L. Williamson, an English emigrant, on August 28, 1857. The two families never lived together; they resided in separate towns. Sarah Esher lived in Greenville while William spent the rest of his life living with Mary in Paragonah. This was because Sarah Esther seemed to be self-sufficient.

On October 11, 1902, William died very peacefully in Paragonah and was buried in Parowan, Utah, in the cemetery of the town, which he helped settle. On November 23, 1923, Mary died peacefully in her home at the age of eighty four. She was buried beside her husband William.

Charles Hampton Barton passed away in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah on July 17, 1946 at the age of 66. Cleo Leichter passed away in Salt Lake City on July 22, 1948 at the age of 58.
