William was married 25 Jul 1923 in Page County, VA to Venie BLANCHE Baker, daughter of Charlie and Bertha Baker. They had at least three children:
William Henry Jr (1925-2008)
Janice Louise (1928-1999)
Franklin Delano (1933-2003)

The 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census reports show William Sr as single and living with his father in the Marksville District of Page County, VA. The 1930 Census shows William, Blanche and children William Jr and Janice living on Ida Road in the Marksville District of Page County, VA. A 1940 Census report (April 8) shows William Jr as a servant in the Lester and Mary Ida "Mamie" Brubaker household. Another 1940 Census (April 23) shows the children Franklin and Janice living in the Page County Almshouse managed by Olan James Shenk.

William Jr's obituary mentions a sister Mildred Keyser of West Virginia, brother Franklin D. Richards of Frederick, MD; deceased sisters Lucy Irene Campbell and Janice Louise Campbell. It is not clear where Mildred and Lucy belong in the family. They don't appear to be the children of Venie Blanche (Baker) Richards.
