| 1. | Hester Renfro was born in 1739 in Halifax Co, or Pittsylvania Co, Virginia; died about 1803 in of, Christian Co, Kentucky. Notes:
[Willey Family Tree 16 Jan 2005.FTW]
March 1983: James and Esther?s daughter Hester m. Vachel Dillingham ca. 1765 in Halifax or Pittsylvania Co., Va. They are said to have moved to N.C. with relations of Hester.
In Washington Co. and Sullivan Co. N.C. I find land grants to Vachel and next to his land Stephen and William Rentfro. In the same general area I find grants to James, Joseph, Peter, Isaac and Moses. This area later became a part of Tennessee. Vachel and Hesters son went back to that area and settled.
In 1765 James Rentfro deeded land in Halifax Co. to Vachel Dillingham who was later recorded in Pittsylvania Co. then even later in Franklin Co. They did not move it was only the counties which changed. They were just east of the Blue Ridge, south of the Roanoke River.
{There is mention of Vachel Dillingham and wife Hester's moving from North Caroliona to Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky with some of her relatives}
Hester married Vachel Dillingham, Sr. about 1760 in Virginia. Vachel (son of William Dillingham, Sr. and Ellinor Vachel) was born about 1735 in Maryland; died on 9 Dec 1802 in Christian Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
