Family legend suggests that William died trying to ford Green River, and a recent note in another tree says he drowned trying to swim Green River from the Bowling Wheeler farm. This is a bit more specific, and so has a ring of truth to it.
ther proof of this story. If death and birth dates are correct, she was pregnant with their youngest child when he died, though it is certainly possible that either his birth date or the date of birth of the youngest child are in error by a year. In any case she had several young children to take care of alone.Some years after his death, she went to Missouri with Fisher Rice and the younger children. My ancester John stayed behind in Kentucky. I am unclear as to exactly when she removed to Missouri, but family legend suggests she accompanied Fisher, and he married in Missouri in 1844. The 1850 census and later show her in Missouri, living first with one child and then another as she ages. I am not sure where she was in 1840, but I would guess the removal took place around this time, since John was old enough to stay behind and most of those younger than he was went along to Missouri.
