William Debnam first appears in extant Virginia records on 6 May 1636 as a headright for Captain (later Colonel) Christopher Calthorpe of ?Thropland,? one of the wealthy and influential men of Charles River/York County, proving Debnam?s arrival from England by that date. William Debnam?s own land in Charles River/York County lay in New Poquoson Parish and he held title to land there at the time of his death. By 1642 he was in possession of land on the Ware River, Mobjack Bay, Gloucester County, and received a Mobjack Bay patent in 1652, totaling 2,100 acres, this perhaps being merely a confirmation of his earlier holdings there. William Debnam died in 1657 in Gloucester County. He and Katherine Debnam had four known children: Katherine, William, Ann, and Mary, as follows. They became the ancestors of many distinguished families in Virginia and other states, families often characterized by habitual intermarriage among their established connections.
