William was born about 1726. He is the only William born in the same church as his putative son, Edmond, in the time window. His parentage as listed is uncertain because of the long interval between his parents' marriage and his birth, but there is no other William Pawson Sr known in this region at this time. What is certain is that he was living in Walton at the time of his marriage.
