Biography:
CHILD, William (fl 1795-1830)
On the title-page of his first publication, A Collection of Hymns (1795), published in Providence RI, he is identified as a resident of Johnston RI, but by 1805 he had moved to Johnstown NY and set up as a printer. From 1808 to1818 he was also the editor of a newspaper, The Independent American. For some of the publications attributed to him, such as a Gothic tale (The Cavern of Death, 1805) and a prose exposition of scripture, The War in Heaven (1821, sometimes attributed to his business partner Darius Wells), he may have been only the printer.
