I have nothing new about William, but thought I would try a new tactic. Does anyone have a history of very tall ancestors connected to the Story surname? William was considered to be very tall and my uncles (greatgrandsons of William) were tall. One of my uncles was 6 foot 7 inches tall, his daughter was 6 foot tall.

William was first noted on the 1830 census of Sevier County Arkansas. He said he was born in Mississipi Territory. He was friend and political competitor of Asahel Dollarhide of the same area. Some of his children married into the Dollarhide family.
