Two sons were born there, one of whom was William Alexander in 1877. William A. was also known as 'Fancy Bill' in reference to his dapper way of dressing. William A. never married and it was he who cared for his dad in his old age. He claimed that his father didn't want him to marry and blamed him for 'ruining his life'.
