Richard Singleton married Ann Whiteside who appears to be a daughter of Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside, Sr.

Col. Richard Singleton, who fought at Kings Mountain in the Revolutionary War, died in the summer of 1807 in Lower Goose Creek, Clay County, Kentucky.

Some researchers show that Ann died about 1811 in Lower Goose Creek, Clay County, Kentucky, while others show that she was still alive and living in Perry County, Kentucky, on December 17, 1813. See deed record.

From notes of researcher Leonard Singleton:
In 1781 Richard Singleton and William Whiteside were appointed guardians of Ann Whiteside after her father died of wounds received at King's Mountain. He didn't marry Ann until about 1787 after she had borne his illegitimate son Richard Singleton, Jr.
