At the time of Detroit's surrender, William Partridge was too sick to attend to duty and died before he was exchanged on September 20, 1812, at age 24.
William Partridge was listed along with Alden Partridge as "the best Mathematicians in the Academy.' they were double first cousins as their fathers, who were brothers, married sisters. William was the son of Isaac Partridge (1761-1835). Isaac was the steward of West Point until he was removed from that position 30 March 1815.
A steward at West Point was involved in boarding of the cadets.
