Almost no information is known about William. We know he was in Minnesota with Sophia when they first come over but
we found no proof of his being there other then a comment in the memoirs of Lois Twichell.
There is a view that William is actually the James W Blackwell who purchased land directly next to that of George Blackwell
and within a 10 day period. The register of deeds, John Blackwell, (10.2.3) did the registration for both titles.
More research must be done.Descendents
