In 1634, William arrived in New England aboard the ship "Pied Cow" with James Wall and John Goddard. They were under a contract with Captain John Mason of London's Laconia Company to build mills in Berwick. William, a master carpenter, played a significant role in constructing the first water-powered sawmill and gristmill in New England. William married Elizabeth Sparry on October 8, 1609, in England. The couple had several children, but Elizabeth's life after their marriage remains largely undocumented. It is believed that she died in England. The house William built in Berwick, Maine, is believed to be the oldest in the state, with part of its foundation under a house at the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets. This property was later deeded to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer.
We have six separate branches of descent from this couple on both the Wright (Tucker) line and Laviolette (DeRochemont) line.
