per Marj Swallow Jan.1987: William's 2nd wife Rachel may have had a teenage daughter; she left him after about 6 months.
Per Elaine Whitehead Kell, 11-Jan-2009:
Aunt Bert told me they (Rachel and William Sr.) were only married a short time.
Quoting Bert: "He found out she was cheating on him in his own house, and kicked her out."
Elaine does not know the truth of that statement.
Per Elaine Whitehead Kell, 1986: Reports differ. Some say she was a "loose woman" and he kicked her out. Others say she left him because he was a nasty bastard.
