After being named executor in his mother's will (dated 08 Oct 1776), no trace of William has been found in Rowan County, North Carolina. It is thought, by some, that this is the William who moved to Columbia County, Georgia and died there in 1815. HOWEVER, a William Lovelace is found in the militia in Prince George's County, Maryland on 12 Apr 1781. There is also a William Lovelace on the 1790 and 1800 census for Prince George's County, Maryland, where his age gives him a birth date before 1755. Millesent is known to have returned to Prince George's County by 1783 and it is doubtful that she returned alone. Either William or Luke, or both, returned with her. (There are also records of a William Lovelace in Charles County, Maryland during this time frame. These Charles County records are probably for a son of John, father of John Baptist, or for one of his descendants other than John Baptist.)
