2. Williamb .1828, m. Keziah Giddens, daughter of Isbin (Vol. 1).
3. Jesseb .1831, m. Nancy Tomlinson, daughter of Harris.

5. Jamesb. 1835, m. Mollie Fender.
6. Henry Huttob. 1838, m. Sarah Griffis. daughter of Joel.
7. Isaacb. 1840, m. Caroline Fender, daughter of William F.

Soon after the birth of their second child Mr. and Mrs. Touchton moved to Lowndes County, Georgia and located on lands where the present town of Lakeland, Lanier County is situated. He had a water mill nearby, also operated a ferry across the nearby Alapaha River. In 1851 he sold out his holdings there and moved to a farm on Cow Creek in what had been Lowndes but was then Clinch County. He owned about 1600 acres of land and had a large plantation, also a water mill on Cow Creek. His home was cut into Echols County in 1856, but most of his holdings being on the north side of Cow Creek (the county line), they were not placed in the new county.

Mr. and Mrs. Touchton were faithful members of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church from its organization in 1851 until their deaths. He was a deacon in that church.
Mr. Touchton died August 22, 1865, and his wife died March 16, 1878. They were buried at Macedonia Church. The sons, John and William, were administrators of their father's estate.

James Touchston was 1st lieutenant in Capt. Jesse Carter's company of Lowndes County militia in the Indian War in 1838.
