According to a family story, sometime between 1820 and 1830 William left with the children and went to Elbert Co GA. Lovey was unhappy with this move and walked to GA and got her children. She took the children while William was building a mill not far from the home. On the way back to Union, her son Alfred became ill. He died and was buried along side the road near Greenville, SC.
