In 1882 he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council, where he remained until his death at Wyagdon near Bathurst in 1886.[1]

His nephew William Junior was later elected as the member for East Macquarie before being appointed to the Legislative Council.[3] His grandson John served as an appointed member of the Legislative Council from 1921 until 1934.[4]
