Thanks Kay. Up until your post this is all I had on William. Going back one generation:
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1 William, son of Elijah (John, James, James, John, John, Robert) and Anna (Fuller) Pease; b. Oct 13, 1797 in Stafford, CT; d. 1855 in New York; m. Ruth Vinton; b. about 1799 in Connecticut. William is found in Lenox, Madison County during the 1820 census, and in Eaton, Madison Co, NY during the 1830 and 1840 census. In 1850, William, Ruth and two (assumed) daughters are in Eaton. Ruth is a “servant” in the household of her (assumed) son in law Jerome Childs during the 1870 census. Children of William and Ruth (Vinton) Pease born in Eaton, NY:
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.1 Elijah b. 1821 d. Mar 21, 1899 Truxton, NY
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.2 David Vinton b. Feb 1824 d. 1909 Illinois
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.3 William H. b. 1826 d. Jul 29, 1897 Geneva, IL
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.4 Ann b. 1828 d.
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.5 Betsey M. b. 1838 d.
NEXT GENERATION
1.2.1.2.2.3.1.1.3 William H. Pease; b. 1826; d. Jul 29, 1897 after being struck by a train in Geneva, IL; bur. in Plato; m. May 17, 1860 in Kane Co, IL Lucy Ann Cook; b. 1834; d. 1912. William was a Kane County surveyor for more than 20 years, a Justice of the Peace and an assessor for the town of Geneva. Even though he had only one arm, he was an “excellent shot” with a rifle. According to the Batavia Herald Newspaper Aug 05, 1897, William Pease was instantly killed by a Chicago & North-Western train at the crossing of the river road between Batavia and Geneva, about 6:45. The train had left Aurora at 6:25, and was due at Geneva at 6:50. The point named is near the Calumet Stock Farm, and the railroad makes 2 harp curves near the crossing. The engine struck the buggy squarely demolishing it, and Mr. Pease was almost instantly killed, being thrown upon the pilot. The supposition is that his horse, which was known to be a high-spirited animal, pulled on to the track in spite of the efforts of the driver. Possibly the latter may have tried to get across ahead of the train. He had but one arm, and would naturally have some difficulty in controlling the horse if it became frightened. A big hole was smashed in his skull above the right temple. The horse was not injured. Children of William H. and Lucy Ann (Cook) Pease:
