"He was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, he was one of the first members of the Society of the Cincinnati, which was formed by George Washington during the revolution. William was a planter and a lawyer in Virginia. He earned over 5,000 acres of land in Tennessee for his service in the war. In Tennessee, he was presented his law license from the Supreme Court of Virginia and Supreme Court of Tennessee to the Court of Pleas and Quarterly Sessions of White Co., Tennessee and he was admitted to the White County Bar. (That area is now Putnam Co.) William was appointed Major of the White County Militia, which position he held until his death. He was appointed as special judge, held the first court in this vast region. He was a man of distinguished lineage, and a cavalier. He came from an aristocratic line running far back into English history, very closely related to royalty. In 1831, a government marker was placed at the grave of William Quarles in the family cemetery just off the old Walton Road, 3 miles east of Cookeville, TN. He was the founder of White Plains, TN."
