| - William Sean McFly (b. April 1885) was the son of Seamus McFly and Maggie McFly, the father of Arthur McFly and the paternal grandfather of George McFly. He was the first McFly born in America. William did not take to strangers until Marty McFly under the alias of "Clint Eastwood" journeyed to 1885 and stumbled across their farm. He was seen earlier fully grown in a photo with relatives in the book A History of Hill Valley, 1850-1930 where Marty noted he was a "good-looking guy". Since William and his family were featured in the book, he might have been a prominent citizen and played a role in the growth of the town. "Wait, that was Great Grandpa Willie! I met him when he was a baby! He peed on me." —Marty, after just meeting an adult William In 1931, William worked for Hill Valley Mercantile Deliveries. He came to the Hill Valley High School on October 13 after hearing that Arthur had getting hitched to a "Canadian floozy." At first he disapproved of their marriage, but changed his mind upon meeting his son's wife Sylvia. William briefly scolded his great grandson, Marty, thanking him to stay out of McFly family business. Then William paused for a moment with a mildly bewildered look on his face, as if sensing something vaguely familiar from Marty. William quickly shrugged this off and went back about his business. In 1931A, William worked for Haysville Mercantile Deliveries and was driving through what had once been Hill Valley on October 13. He pointed Marty and Doc Brown to the house of an old lady named Mary Pickford (who in truth was a time lost Edna Strickland). Edna confessed to Marty and Doc that she destroyed Hill Valley. She was about to shoot them when William arrived to cover their escape by grabbing her and her shotgun, telling them to get away. William's fate after 1931A is unknown.
