He had a career in the military, then the militia. (He fought at Châteauguay under the command of de Salaberry.

On the 23rd of march 1813 he was named lieutenant of the sixth battalion of the Québec Embodied Militia.
After war of 1812 he resided in Chateau-Richer, he moved there in 1815,(about 25 km east of Quebec City, on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River) on a seigneurie purchased by his brother, Louis.
He inherited it on his brothers death, a bachelor, in 1853. They made other acquisitions throughout the years. He was at times Mayor, Justice of the Peace and Commissioner of Roads as well as the Commanding Colonel of the militia of the County of Montmorency.
He retired from the militia with the rank of Colonel and awarded honourable mention.

James McPherson LeMoine, William's nephew, often visited his uncle on his way to his maternal grandfather's estate on Ile aux Grues, wrote about William in his book Maple Leaves.
