Singletary mystery

I am trying to solve a family mystery. One of our ancestors Lucy Mahaly Singletary married an Amos Ward in Columbus County in 1868. They had a son James Bryant Ward (who was my great-great-great grandfather. Soon after, Lucy left Amos and changed James' name to Singletary (her maiden name) but no one seems to know why. The rest of us have been Singeltarys ever since but in actuality we are Wards I suppose. Anyway, I have found the grave of James, but can not find any death records or cemetery info on either Amos or Lucy. I do know that she later married Calvin Hathaway in 1877 and had another child, Daniel Monroe Hathaway. I also know that she was living with Daniel and his family in Horry County in 1910 (when she died). She was listed as married on the census record but Calving was not living there. They both died in 1910. Perhaps he was in a nursing home or something. Any information anyone has about either Amos Ward, Lucy Singletary Hathaway, or Calvin or Daniel Hathaway would be greatly appreciated.
