I don't think that William of Malden was ever a Selectman...
The reference in Corey (The History of Malden, MA 1633-1785) for the date 4 9th mo. 1681 refers to a meeting of the Selectmen choosing the "cutters" (to cut and cart wood for Mr. Cheever the minister) and among those chosen to cut wood was William.
Since William was not one of the proprietors or freeholders of Malden, (and often needed and received financial assistance) I don't think he would have held such an office.
