    During the War of 1812-14 he was Adjutant of the 50th Regiment. He
    carried on the mercantile business at the harbor until 1838, when he
    removed to the river, and there continued to trade. William was a very
    enterprising and farseeing man, and in whatever position he was placed,
    whether as Adjutant, County Commissioner, President of the Bank,
    Committee on town Accounts he discharged the duties resting on him with
    ability and satisfaction.

    There are 2 memorial stones in this cemetery
    for William Carleton Esq. The stone pictured
    here has been placed over the storage vault
    as a monument, no one is buried here. There
    has been a mistake made regarding the date
    on one of the stones. I beleive this stone has
    the incorrect date. The second stone for
    William can be viewed by following this link.
