His first wife, Almeria Agness Willis Wilson, was pregnant with their first child. Tradition has it that she was thrown from a horse which resulted in her and the unborns death. He married second to Sarah Elizabeth Gay Wilson in Livingston County on January 15, 1867. They had ten children:
1) James Charlie;
2) William Albert Maywood;
3) Marion Harvie;
4) Louisa "Lizzie" Elizabeth (Williamson);
5) Ernest Redding;
6) John Walker;
7) Sarah Adeline (Sefrit);
8) Frank Leslie;
9) Emma Pearl (May);
10) Gordon Bennett.
He was a Road Surveyor of a portion of the Salem to Berry's Ferry Road from a point beginning with the Hogan's Fork Bridge over Deer Creek. He was instrumental in getting the road built to the Foreman Mill and then changing a route to connect with the new town of Lola. A neighbor described him as short to average in height.
Tradition has it that he died of kidney failure as the result of a kick in the back from a mule. Kentucky Death Records indicate that he died as a result of congestion of stomach.
