WILLIAM 'BILLY' FINCH, according to the 1850 Decatur County, Tennessee Census, states that he was born in South Carolina. No evidence to that fact. (See the Note below). He might be the William Finch born 1781 in Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut to Revolutionary Soldier William Finch and wife Mary Huxley. He lived in Caldwell County, Kentucky and died about 1855 in Decatur County, Tennessee, which had been taken from Perry County in 1845. He was also on the 1830 Perry County, Tennessee census as well. He married MARY G. 'POLLY' ROBERTS with the consent of her father, EVAN ROBERTS, on 17 November 1809 in Caldwell County, Kentucky. MARY was born 1792 in Laurens County, South Carolina according to the same census and records located in said county as well. She lived with her son, George, in Decatur County, Tennessee after Billy died. She died before the 1870 census in Red River County, Texas. She is the daughter of EVAN ROBERTS and wife, MARTHA WALKER. See the note below.
NOTE: The book, "Finch Families of Dixie, 300 years" by Ruby Finch Thompson has Billy the son of John Finch and Janey Keene in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

Jane said her husband, John, died between the death of her father and her filing the law suit.
