Inasmuch as William's father, Henry, is shown in the same census, in the same location (South Beaver, Beaver, PA) as a "blacksmith", it is assumed the son apprenticed under his father in his father's business for a while.

In the US Census of 1860, he lists himself as a "Practical Engineer".

William's daughter, Mary, twin of son, Joseph, is shown as two years old in the 1850 census, but is not listed at all in the census of 1860, having died in the interim (25 Jun 1850).

Per the census of 1870, William is listed as "Steam Boat Engineer". He served on a river boat on the Ohio River. His grandson, Raymond Stockdale Briggs, told his son, Glenn Cameron Briggs, this was so and Minnie Gibson Briggs, wife of George Ellsworth Briggs, his son, verbally corroborated this to Glenn. In this same census record, his mother-in-law, Mary Stockdale, aged 70, is shown as a member of his household, living in Industry, Beaver County, PA. Per this census, William Henry (48)and his wife Debora (43), and living with them are their children, Joseph, 22, a school teacher, Flora, 12, George, 6 and his mother in law, Mary Stockdale, aged 78.

"W.H. Briggs, proprietor of a hotel, P.O. Industry; Soon after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on the shores of Massachusetts, three families, named respectively Briggs, Goodwin and Austin, came from England and settled in that state, the Briggs; being blacksmiths by trade. Henry Briggs, a descendant of this pioneer family, and the second son born to his parents, left his native state with his family in 1828, and took up a quarter section of land in South Beaver township, this county, where he following blacksmithing and hotel keeping. Moving to Youngstown Ohio, he remained there a short time and then returned to the farm known then as Black Hawk Post office. He married Mary Westcott, whose ancestors came from Massachusetts, and six children were given them. W.H., the eldest son was born in 1823 near the old Stamping Ground occupied by his early ancestors. The father died at the age of eighty-four years, his widow at the age of eighty-nine. Our subject learned the trade of his forefathers, which he has followed, together with other pursuits, to the present time, and for the past thirty years he has been engaged in steamboat engineering. During the war he carried supplies for northern soldiers, operating in the south. For the past twenty-two years, his present place has been his home, and in his absence the River View Hotel is conducted by Mrs. Briggs. He was married in 1848 to Deboray, daughter of Joseph and sister of Captain Stockdale, of Alleghenny County. Their children are Joseph S., Elizabeth A. (now Mrs. Johnson), Flora B. ( in Des Moines Iowa), and George E. The family are members of the Christian Church. Mr. Briggs is a Republican."
