The following taken from an Historical Account of the Trego Family 1884;
"William Trego, the son of Peter the elder, according to the Honeybrook family records, was born August 5th, 1693, married Margaret Moore, June 26th, 1717, and died 1770. The land in Honeybrook township, afterwards and yet owned by the Tregos, was first entered by John Moore, the father-in-law of William Trego, in March 1718, and in 1733, was conveyed to William Trego. This tract is described in the deed as 'joining on the west by lands of James Trego.' Now it has been already shown that in November of the same year, the old homestead of their father Peter, in Middletown, was conveyed by William Trego, then of Goshen, to James Trego of Concord. It would seem from this that neither William nor James resided at that time on their lands in Honeybrook.
Jared P. Irwin in his letter to Chas. B. Trego, written April 10th, 1848, says that William and Margaret Trego had ten children, four sons and six daughters... one of the sons died quite young...
William, Benjamin and Joseph, Hannah Hickman, Margaret McPherson, Elizabeth Malin, Mary Malin...Ann Hunt, and Sarah Eachus."
William married Margaret Moor on 26 May 1717. Margaret was born about 1695 in US. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
