He was a general contractor who built homes in the Bay area. He was also a confidant of Edward G "Pat" Brown (1905-96), Governor of California 1958-66. Bill had hired Pat as his attorney, but later convinced him to run for San Francisco district attorney. Bill married a Miss Addis. William A Newsom died 4 Mar 1977 in San Francisco, California. There is reported in the ''Oakland Tribune'', 19 Oct 1933 under S.F. Deaths "William A Newsom". That's it, no age, no obit, just a name. This could possibly be his father or uncle. It cannot be *him* because I've found an article about him building homes in 1941. ===Primary documents on 4=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&gsfn=W+A&gsln=Newsom&sx=y&f12=California&f4=&f7=&f15=&rg_81004011__date=&rs_81004011__date=0&f18=&f14__n=&_8000C002=&_80008002=&_80018002=&f10=&f16=&gskw=&prox=1&db=1930usfedcen&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=1&recid=9543150&recoff=1+2+3+19 1930 Census of San Francisco, San Francisco County, California] showing : "W A Newsom, 28, son" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=8049&iid=NEWS-CA-OA_TR.1962_11_03_0024&r=an&rc=3308,5212,3539,5266;3572,5212,3770,5266&fn=william&ln=newsom&st=d&ssrc=&pid=504728600 (political advertisement) "The Men Around Brown...Califorians deserve better"], 3 Nov 1962, ''Oak Tribune'' : [lists several examples of purported malfeasance by various people in Brown's camp and then] "...William Newsom — While a state employee receiving approximately $17,000 per year, was secretly awarded a 27 year concession to operate Squaw Valley State Park...."
