Amelia and William moved to Kentucky, where three of their children were born, but then went back to Virginia around 1814 when William Francis Stanhope II was born, and Amelia died. Amelia and William's only daughter Elizabeth lived her life in Kentucky though, marrying Edward Carter on April 23, 1830. Elizabeth and Edward had a daughter named Fanny, born in 1832, who married James Alexander Headley in 1852. Fanny and James became the parents of Joseph Carter Headley, the grandparents of Elisabeth Headley Garr and Frances Headley Carruth, and the great-grandparents of Elisabeth Garr Lawrence, Charlotte Garr Schubert, Frances Carruth Kerr, and Allen Higgins Carruth.
