  • Notes 
    • At the time of the father's death, William, the oldest son, was not of age, being only about 19 years old, so the family lived together on the old plantation for a number of years. The oldest daughter, Sarah, married Samuel Harris in 1795. Alexander, in about 1800, went to his lands on Station Camp Creek in Sumner Co., Tennessee. A few years later, he was followed by his younger brother, John. On July 30, 1801, William married Miss Mary (Polly) Buchanan (said to be a relative of President James Buchanan). On December 1, 1803, Anna married John Henderson; they lived for a number of years in Kentucky, then moved to Indiana, finally to Illinois.

      About 1806-7 William and wife, together with his widowed mother and his two youngest sisters, Mary Polly and Rebecca, moved from Kentucky to Clark Co., Indiana. There, on April 6, 1809, William's sister, Mary Polly Provine married John McClintock. Later, on May 30, 1811, William's youngest sister, Rebecca Provine married William McClintock.
