William married Elizabeth Reid on 12 December 1828 in Pulaski Co., Kentucky. They were the parents of 10 children: Silas Ping, Thomas B. Ping, Lucy A. Ping, Robert W. Ping, William Ping, Mary Elizabeth Ping, Elisha Dadger Ping, Margaret Jane Ping and Zerua Ellen Ping.
William left Pulaski County sometime after 14 September 1830 with his wife and son, his father and family, and possibly others. They located somewhere in Illinois for 2-3 years before settling in Vigo Co., Indiana, where daughter Lucy was born in January 1834. They stayed until 1849 when the Pings, except for Elisha and his family, moved to Jasper Co., Illinois.
William was farming on 240 acres of land in 1849. In 1853 he served as Justice of the Peace for Jackson County, which was formed in September 1852. Three of his sons served in the Civil War: Thomas, Robert W. and William.
