1801 Wiley, and son Milton, are shown to have amassed more than 1100 acres of land, in Otter Creek township, near the river, in the 1858 property map of Vigo County, Indiana. The map also shows that they operated a saw mill on their property, which was located on the old Erie Canal. Walden, Wiley (I1954)

1803 William I (Old Norman: Williame I; c. 1028[1] - 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard,[2][a] was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. The descendant of Viking raiders, he had been Duke of Normandy since 1035 under the style William II. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son. William, King I (I6586)
 
1804 William II (Old Norman: Williame II; c. 1056 - 2 August 1100), the third son of William I of England, was King of England from 1087 until 1100, with powers over Normandy, and influence in Scotland. He was less successful in extending control into Wales. William is commonly known as William Rufus or William the Red, perhaps because of his red-faced appearance.[2]

He was a figure of complex temperament: capable of both bellicosity and flamboyance. He did not marry, nor did he produce any offspring, legitimate or otherwise. He died after being struck by an arrow while hunting, under circumstances that remain murky. Circumstantial evidence in the behaviour of those around him raise strong but unproven suspicions of murder. His younger brother Henry hurriedly succeeded him as king. 
William, King II (I6588)
 
1805 William II was followed on the throne by his younger brother, Henry. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, against the possibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the English throne.

After the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France, Henry completed his conquest of Normandy from Robert, who then (unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life as his brother's prisoner.

An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruel ruler, Henry centralised the administration of England and Normandy in the royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a group of advisers in England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the Channel.

Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by the official records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the first exchequer account to survive). He established peaceful relations with Scotland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.

Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as the youngest son, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop); Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English.

In 1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the White Ship which sank in the English Channel. This posed a succession problem, as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children to expect succession to either England or Normandy.

Henry had a legitimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequently married to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen (reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, who succeeded Henry after his death, allegedly caused by eating too many lampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of a female ruler.

1806 William Pettiford was listed in the 1778 Militia Returns for Granville County in
Captain William Gill's Company as a seventeen-year-old "black man" [The North
Carolinian VI:726 (Mil. TR 4-40)]. 
Pettiford, William (I7512)
 
1807 William1 Stewart, born say 1723, was called the "Moll. boy named William who formerly lived with William Standback" by William Eaton in 1725 when he petitioned the churchwardens of Bristol Parish to have William bound to him [Chamberlayne, Bristol Parish Register, 24]. On 13 March 1738/9 the churchwardens of Bristol Parish in Prince George County ordered William Stewart, a "Mulatto Boy" (no parent or age indicated), bound an apprentice to William Eaton [Orders 1737-40, 241]. He was a taxable head of household in Lunenburg County, Virginia, with Ephraim Drew in 1772 [Bell, Sunlight on the Southside, 299, 351]. He purchased 200 acres on the head branches of Little Creek in Mecklenburg County from Jacob Chaves on 8 March 1779 [DB 5:399]. He was head of a Mecklenburg County household of 6 free persons and 2 slaves in 1782 [VA:33] and was taxable in Mecklenburg County on slaves Edward and Charles, 6 cattle and 4 horses in 1782; taxable on Anselm Cunningham's tithe and a slave named Ned in 1784, called "William Stewart B. Smith" (blacksmith) in 1785 when he was taxable on slaves Bob and Charles. He was taxable on slave Ned from 1786 to 1788 but not taxable thereafter in Mecklenburg County [PPTL, 1782-1805, frames 12, 27, 85, 126, 223]. William (signing) and his wife Mary sold their 200 acres on Little Creek to James Steward, Sr., of Dinwiddie County, on 11 February 1788 [DB 7:253]. Mary may have been identical to "Mary Haris now Stuart" whose son Isham Harris was ordered bound out by the churchwardens of St. James Parish in Mecklenburg County court on 8 November 1766 [Orders 1765-8, 231]. Isham was head of a Wake County household of 7 "other free" in 1800 [NC:769]. William was head of a Wake County household of 11 "other free" in 1790 [NC:105] and 11 "other free" and 2 slaves in 1800 [NC:798]. He had undertaken to pay Thomas Evans' costs on 13 February 1786 when Jacob Chavis sued Evans in Mecklenburg County court, but William left the county without paying Chavis. On 13 September 1790 Chavis obtained an attachment against William's estate and recovered part of the debt from a number of persons including Henry Chavis, Henry Chavis, Jr., and James Stewart who testified that they owed William money [Orders 1784-87, 461; 1787-92, 536, 540]. William was residing in North Carolina on 11 July 1806 when Jacob Chavis of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, gave John Chavis power of attorney to recover a debt from him [Mecklenburg DB 13:1, 2]. He tried to prove the nuncupative will of John Jackson Chaves in Wake County court in May 1808, but John Jackson's aunt Lucy Cole of Mecklenburg County contested the will, claiming she was his only heir. She won her case based on testimony from Frederick Ivey, Peter Chavis and afidavits by three of her white neighbors [Haun, Wake County Court Minutes VII:67-8, 151]. Stewart, William (I2450)
 
1808 William3 Bass (John2, William1, John1), born say 1712, sold the land he inherited in Northampton County to John Bass on 30 December 1742 [DB 2:185]. He was one of the first members of the Bass family in Granville County where he was taxed in the list of Jonathan White in 1749. In 1761 he was taxable with his son Thomas in Oxford District. On 19 November 1762 he purchased 200 acres on the south side of Cedar Creek near the Beaver Dam Branch from Thomas Huland (Huelin) [DB F:441]. He was a "Black" taxable in Granville County in John Pope's list for St. John's Parish, Bare Swamp District, in 1762. Bute County was formed from this part of Granville County in 1764, and in 1771 he was a Bute County taxable in the list of Philemon Hawkins on 5 "Black" tithes: himself, his wife, daughter "Honner," and sons Ben and John [CR 015.70001, p.12]. He may have been the William Bass who appeared in Granville County court on 7 April 1770 as the "next Friend" of Olive Bass when she sued Jean Tylor, alias Mitchell [Minutes 1754-70, 202]. William sold 100 acres on the south side of Cedar Creek to Sampson Bass on 26 January 1771 and another 100 acres adjoining this on 17 September 1771 [Warren County DB 3:224; 4:263]. His children were

i. ?Simon1, not identified as William's son, but listed adjacent to him in Philemon Hawkins' Bute County list of taxables, taxed on 4 "Black" tithes for himself, his unnamed wife, son James, and (daughter?) Elizabeth.

ii. Thomas4, born about 1749 since he was taxable in 1761 in his father's Oxford District household. He was an overseer, taxable in Nathan Thomas's household in the 1771 Bute County list of Philemon Hawkins [CR 015.70001, p.4].

iii. ?Frederick1, born say 1750.

iv. Honor1, born say 1752, taxable in 1771 in Bute County.

v. Benjamin2, born say 1754, taxable in 1771 in Bute County.

vi. John8, born before 1760, taxable in 1771 in Bute County.
