The family moved again, this time to Clinton County, Kentucky and settled on Spring Creek next to where the Dale Hollow Lake is now. They were there when the Civil War broke out.

She died and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Matthews Cemetery, where most of the Lawson family members are buried who died while living there.
