There were several Raymond families in Middleboro in the early 1700s, and most of them had sons named William. So it's fairly certain this William was closely connected to one of them. Possibly he was "illegitmate", which would be a reason he wasn't listed in any family. The best candidate for William's father might be William Raymond b. 1722 (number 29 in RG-DJWR), who also had a son named Solomon.

History of Wayne, 1898, pg 201: One of the early settlers, William Raymond, settled near where John R. Sturtevant now lives, opposite where the road from Mr. Sturtevant's house intersects the road leading by the house of John S. Raymond to the Evergreen Cem.. It is claimed by several of his great grand children, who now reside in Wayne and adjoining towns, that he was in the Revolutionary War. This fact does not appear in the list of Revolutionary solders in this book for want of record facts; yet, family traditions leave little doubt of his participation in the events that gave this country its independence. He was twice married. His second wife was a widow Hicks. He died in Fayette at the house of his son Nathan. For want of data, we are unable to give an extended account of this man and his descendants. Of his children the records are silent; yet, incomplete as this may be, we enumerate Thomas and Pelatiah, who settled and died in St. Albans; William, who settled in Wayne; Polly [Molly] who married Seth Maxim, lived and died in Wayne; Eunice, who married Benjamin Maxim, lived and died in Wayne; Lois, who married Mr. Wing and died in St. Albans, and Nathan, who lived in Fayette and died at the home of his daughter Mrs. O. W. Welch at West Mt. Vernon. Pg. 129: Marriage Intentions: Jan. 11, 1824, Wayne, Me., to Sally Hix. (Hicks).
