NOTE: The following biography was edited to void plagiarism issues.

William Chaloner was born on 23 September 1749 in Newport, Newport, Rhode Island, and in about 1773, came to Machias, Maine District from Newport. He seems to have been well educated.

After the taking of the British "HMS Margaretta" at Machias, William joined the crew of a privately armed vessel. He was commissioned under Captain Jeremiah O'Brien as the ship’s Surgeon. This vessel was captured by the British and was taken, with the captain, as prisoners to Ireland. Dr. Chaloner was released and soon joined another privateer that sailed from Newburyport. This ship too was captured and carried to England. He was released, probably by exchange, and traveled through France and Spain, obtaining passage in the latter country for the United States.

William remained at home during the rest of the war, his family having resided at Andover, Massachusetts during his absence. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783 and William was appointed to be one of the surveyors to help verify the new border between the U.S. and Canada.

He was married to Mary Dilloway in East Machias, Washington County, Maine.

The Patriot died on 29 August 1802 in Machias, Washington County, Maine.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
