William Woodburn

William Woodburn was the younger brother of Samuel Woodburn, born in June 1834. Like his brother, William sailed for America, landing in New York sometime around 1871 or 1872.

The family moved to Ontario, Canada. He was accompanied by his family: Wife, Mary Montgomery Woodburn; daughter Margaret (1855) ; sons Robert (1859), William (1861), Charles M. (1862), David (1865), James (1868), and Samuel (1871). After settling in Canada, daughters Elizabeth (1873) and Mary were born (1876).

The mother passed sometime between 1876 and 1881. By 1895, the family moved to Niagara County, New York, making Lockport their new home. William died between 1914 and 1920, as he was living when mentioned in Samuel's biography in Gil Stormont's The History of Gibson, County, Indiana in 1914 and absent from the 1920 Niagara County census.
