Notes:

"Runyon Genealogy" by Robert and Amos Runyon, 1955 on page 25 states the following about Adron:
"Adron Runyon was born in Tazewell County, Virgnia, June 14, 1801. When a lad he came with his parents, in 1811 or soon thereafter. Adron was living with his parents in Floyd County, Kentucky, in 1820.
Adron married Jane ("Jannie") Maynard, daughter of Moses Maynard, December 23, 1824, in Pike County. Moses Maynard signed the marriage bond. Jane was born February 25, 1810, on John's Creek, which is now in Pike County, and died May 30, 1883. After the death of her husband she lived the remainder of her life at the homestead on Pond Creek.
Adron was granted 1,192 acres of valuable coal and tember land, and he purchased other large tracks of land on Pond Creek. He was justice of the peace in Pike County from 1847 to 1857. He devoted most of his time to clearing and cultivating his land holdings. In his later days he was known as "Squire Runyon"; however, his neighbors, friends, and young people called him "Uncle Add". His last will was executed May 26, 1857, and probated August 15, 1859. He left his estate to his wife and children, excepting a tract to be used as a church and cemetery site. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church and served as the first secretary until July 2, 1859. He was appointed deacon January 13, 1844."
This church later became known as Pond Creek Regular Baptist Church. The land willed by Adron to the church was 1/2 acre in size, and that portion of the will as recoreded in Pike County Will book A Page 75 says "I wish also to be understood that the Babtist meeting house now standing on my land is for the benefit of the Church if occupied, if not fall back to my son Adron which is one half acre." (Source: "Minutes of the Pond Creek Regular Baptist Church, a Digest" by Clyde Runyon - 1985)
Adron went on a bear hunt July 1859 and upon returning he became critically ill with abdominal pains, (appendicitis ?) and died. (Source: "Supplement To Runyon Genealogy"1962, page 203)
