William Dabney was born to Cornelius and Lucy (Winston) Dabney about 1721-25 in King William County, Virginia.

He married Philadelphia Gwathmey, a daughter of Richard and Diana (Moore) Gwathmey of neighboring King and Queen County, born about 1745-49 in King and Queen County.

They had nine children. As listed in Williams will, they were:

  1. Isaac, born 1745-49;
  2. Richard, born 1750/51;
  3. Owen, born in 1754;
  4. Cornelius, born June 7, 1756;
  5. William, born 1757-62;
  6. A sixth son, Gwathmey, was born about 1762-67, after the will was written.

and three daughters,

  1. Lucy, born 1745-56;
  2. Sarah, born 1752-58; and
  3. Philadelphia, born 1757-62.

The three daughters were mentioned after all of the sons in Williams will, but probably because their legacies were different from those of their brothers.
