The couple worked a small farm near Morven, Anson Co., and had seven children: Adella (b. 1859), Anne Jane (b. 1861), James L. (b. 1862), Ida R. (b. 1866), Terressa G. (b. 1867), Sarah A. (b. 1869), and Lora (b. ca. 1871). Judith died at her home. The cause of death was given as uremic poisoning, probably the result of kidney failure.
