On 2 July 1831 at Sydney W. H. Dutton married Charlotte, daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Cameron of the 3rd Regiment. Next year he and Frederick Dutton went into partnership in sheep at Yass and later in the Monaro district. In 1836 they established near Albury a cattle run at Mullengendry whence 1000 cattle sold to John Barton Hack were overlanded to Portland and shipped to Adelaide, where they arrived in 1838. William visited South Australia briefly with his family early in 1839 and at Mount Barker with Captain John Finnis and Duncan Macfarlane bought a 4000-acre (1619 ha) special survey, the first in the colony.
