To this union a son named Joseph E E Williams was born.

The marriage between Emily and Barney Williams was declared null and void in June 1885 when Emily discovered that Barney was still married and had a wife in another county. This is confirmed by original paperwork and John Sinclair's Civil War pension package. Barney fled the state of Indiana to avoid prosecution for bigamy. In the divorce, Emily regained her other married name of Sinclair.
