William Smeal was born in 1792.

Smeal attended the week-long World Anti-Slavery conference in 1840. He was captured in a portrait with other Quakers like Josiah Forster, businessmen like Tapper Cadbury and Samuel Fox, bankers such as George Head Head and other prominent abolitionists from a number of countries including America, South Africa and Jamaica.
