WB and the MOYE sisters had a very unusual relationship. According to most records, W.B. had fathered several children by Anna while still married to her sister Mary.

W.B. had seventeen children. Most believe that Mary MOYE had seven children: Eleanor (out of wedlock), Margaret, William Batchelor Jr, James, John, Seaborn, Jemima, & Elizabeth.

Anna MOYE had ten children: Stephen, Susannah, daughter Jemima, daughter Levis (aka, Louisa or Lavinia), Redden, Clarissa, Martha, James, William, & Malachi.

WB and his third wife Mary Cochrum had no children. After Mary Moye died, W.B. married Anna, sometime between 1793 and 1795.

In 1801 W.B. and Anna moved to McIntosh County. They then moved to Warren County sometime between 1810 and 1820, essentially following their children as they moved with the westward settlement of Georgia’s virgin lands. Governor Mitchell gave W.B. and his party “Passports”, which attested to their character and honor. This convinced the Indian Chiefs to allow them to travel through the newly-acquired Creek Indian lands, in order that they visit W.B.’s sister Abigail and his daughter Susannah, who had married Reverend Adam Jones. It was here that he met and married Mary Cochrum in May of 1813. He died, either in 1820 or 1821. W.B. truly started a clan, that has spread throughout the Wiregrass and the Pine Barren of South Georgia.
