See the Biographic entry on his son Henry's page. It reads in part:
On coming to America, William Williams settled in McHenry County, Ill. In Woodstock, Ill., he married Miss Mortlock, with whom he had been acquainted in England, and to whom he was engaged before coming to the United States. In 1872 he came to Colorado with Mr. JL Overton, for whom he had worked in Wisconsin. After a few years he bought a farm one and one-fourth miles northwest of Fountain, and there he made his home during the remainder of his life. He improved the place by irrigation and set out fruit trees, besides making other improvements. Of his ten children, eight are still living. They are named as follows: James, who is a ranchman in El Paso County; Henry T. ; Charles E., a stockman in Montana; Sarah, who married James Anderson, of Fountain, and has one child; Alfred, who is represented elsewhere in this volume; Amanda, who lives in Colorado Springs; Harry, who is unmarried and lives in El Paso County; and Eli, the youngest, who was adopted into the family of a Mr. Davidson and was taken to Kansas when he was only one year old, since which time nothing has been heard of him.
Eli Davidson is buried in Oregon (FAG 28400142).
