Is he the same William Straw who is father of Laura Jennie Marsh who was born [perhaps illigitimate?] in Thornton to William Straw [37012] and Hannah G. P. Marsh? I will leave him here until I find further documentation to prove otherwise.

William married Hannah G. P. Marsh, daughter of John Marsh and Miriam Pattee. (Hannah G. P. Marsh was born in 1820 in Thornton, Grafton County, New Hampshire, died on 4 Jun 1890 in Thornton, Grafton County, New Hampshire and was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery in Thornton, New Hampshire.)
