William B. Conway (January 14, 1805 – December 29, 1852) was a justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court from 1847 to 1849.[1]
Born near Greeneville, Tennessee, Conway was the brother of Elias Nelson Conway, who became Governor of Arkansas.[1] Conway was given no middle name at birth, but adopted one later in life:
Conway became an Arkansas circuit judge in 1830,[1] and in 1847 was appointed to succeed Judge Edward Cross on the state supreme court.[2] Cross was described as "a good man, but of small learning and capacity".[2]
Conway died in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 47, and was buried next to his mother in Mount Holly Cemetery.[1]
