William aka Billy Jr. moved his family to Marion Co, GA probably to live on land his father purchased. He enlissted at Macon in the Whittle Guards on May 17, 1862. He was captured at Deep Bottom, Virginia in August, 1864, suffering wounds in his head and left hip. He was sent to prison camp at Point Lookout, Maryland and was released May 13, 1865.
Probably sometime after the war William and Nancy separated and he married Sarah Tice whose family lived near by in Marion Co during the war, but moved to Dale County, AL shortly after cropping on farms in and around the Marion Co area, including Muscogee Co.
In the mid 1800s they moved to Alabama, where a daughter, Ida, was born in 1885. They settled near the Tices and not far from some of William's brothers who lived in the Midland City and Headland area. William died Nov 6, 1898. Sarah moved back to GA a few years later. Billy's daughter, Cora Cunningham Sasnett, said her father told how upset Sarah was the night he took her to the train station as she was leaving. Sarah was crying because she believed she'd never see Billy again. As she was about to board the train she fainted.
Jimmy's grandaughter, Nettie Kate Daniels, went with Jimmy and Billy on a wagon to find their mother, whom they had not seen since their parents divorced. The boys found their mother hoeing in her garden, and when they told her who they were she was so overcome she fainted.
Billy Cunningham married Emma Tice, Sarah Tice Cunningham's niece, in 1886.
