He appeared on the census in 1860 in Wilkes Co., North Carolina. William Jarvis is listed as a 56 year old resident of Wilkes Co. He is not found in the 1850 census. William's age places him as a probable son of the patriarch James Jarvis - he fits the age of one of Jame's sons in the early censuses.

William's household in 1860 consists of Sarah (52), Caroline (26), James (24), Elizabeth (22), Jane (19), Thomas (15), Ruth (15), Constant (11), John (10), and Nancy (8). James is probably named for his father, as was customary, and Constant is probably named for his neighbor Constant Gray. Thomas, the only known Thomas in this generation, was probably named for Sarah's father.

Assuming the sale was three or more weeks after his death, it would place William's death in 1862.
