- William married Alice Elderton on October 6, 1668.
- The marriage occurred in Manton, Pohnpei, Micronesia, but the record is included in the Huntingdonshire Parish Records.
- In England Marriages, 1538–1973, there is a marriage record for William Lymer, also married to an Alice Alderton, also on October 6, 1668, but in Alconbury Weston, Huntingdonshire, England. This raises questions as to whether there is an accuracy problem with one of these records, or if they are referring to two different Williams.
