His father was John Briggs.

His mother was Sarah Cornell.


He was buried District 10, Little Compton, Newport, Rhode Island.

He was married to Elizabeth Cooke.

William and Elizabeth had these seven children together:

  1671 William Briggs   (year of birth is approximate)
  1681 Susannah Briggs
  1685 John Briggs
  1689 Elizabeth Briggs
  1693 Thomas Briggs (*)

As Thomas and Deborah are shown as being born on successive days,
it can be inferred that they were twins, born hours or even minutes
apart, around midnight of September 5/6, 1693.
