Suggested edit: The bio mentions William as having sons Miles, Lloyd, and Riley. However, based on William's will, these three were sons of his son Charles by Charles' first wife. Charles also had a son Isaac by a second wife. The reason all four are mentioned in William's will is because Charles died just a few years before William.
