Some Burrow researchers are showing S as William's middle initial. The 1880 Federal Census does show (S) after William's name - but in the entire district, no other person's middle initial was shown in parentheses.

Inscription
AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH, HIS HOME WAS IN MACON CO TENN, HIS NATIVE STATE. THERE HE JOINED THE BAPTIST CHURCH IN 1843 AND LIVED A MEMBER THE REMAINDER OF HIS DAYS, A KIND NEIGHBOR, A FAITHFUL CITIZEN AND A LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER.
THOU ARE FAR FROM HOME FATHER, BUT LOVE NEVER DIES AND KNOWS NEITHER SEASON NOR PLACE, AND OFTEN TEARS FATHER WELL UP IN OUR EYES. WE MISS THY DEAR FORM AND FACE BUT GOD KNOWS BEST WHO ON HIM RELIES, WILL SEE ALL THE TOKENS OF HIS GRACE.
