William Goodsell Rockefeller (May 21, 1870 – November 30, 1922) was the third child of Standard Oil co-founder William Rockefeller (1841–1922) and his wife, Almira Geraldine Goodsell. Rockefeller married Sarah Elizabeth Stillman, daughter of National City Bank president James Stillman, on November 21, 1895. His father had become a large shareholder of the National City Bank and his alliance with the Stillman family was sealed by the marriage of his two sons with two Stillman daughters. Rockefeller's brother, Percy Avery Rockefeller, married Isabel Goodrich Stillman.
