Notizen bei Captain James Dillard

[[Category:Amherst County, Virginia]]
== Biography == The birth and death dates for [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] are sourced from his son's Revolutionary War Pension application (see below).
His place of death as Amherst County, Virginia is sourced from the fact that his estate was probated in Amherst in 1794. There is no source or support for his birth having been in Williamsburg. There is a record of a James Dillard who patented land partly in New Kent and partly in James County in 1758 per Dorothy Hughes. (Note - also according to Hughes, this record may belong to James Dillard, son of John. Yet another James Dillard, but not this James Dillard.)

===Parentage Theories===There is no conclusive evidence as to the father of [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]].

*There are 2 Sources of information:
*One is derived from the work of Henry Moorman Dillard ([[Space:A_partial_history_of_the_Dillard_family_-_Article_written_by_Henry_Moorman_Dillard |Dillard History]]) which claims him as the grandson of [[Dillard-84|James Stephen Dillard]]. Most of what H. Moorman wrote about James Stephen Dillard has been debunked and the profile has been disconnected and labeled Disproven.
There is a single record of a birth of [[Dillard-83|James Dillard]] in 1710-1712 son of James Dillard in New Kent, but there is no evidence to support him as the father of [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] born 1727. (See Research done by Dorothy Dillard Hughes in Dillard Family Association archive here on WIKI.)
The descendants of James Dillard and Lucy Wise according to H. Moorman Dillard are left attached to allow for future research into proving or disproving their existence. Many of H. Moorman Dillard's lines and descendants in later years have been proven to be correct. These four children of James and Lucy Wise Dillard do have lineages.1. Sarah "Sally" named as one of the descendants of James and Lucy Wise Dillard was married to Joseph Alexander Adair, Jr. and died before 1812 in Duncan's Creek, Laurens, South Carolina. 2. William Terry Dillard another child named by H. Moorman also has a wife and daughter that is now proven.
3. Stephen Dillard is the ancestor of H. Moorman Dillard's line.
4. George Dillard married Priscilla Major and has a lineage.

Research is still ongoing on the other children.
Other information about Capt. James Dillard's father comes from Sweeney's "Virginia in the Revolution". In her book, Sweeny places the father of Capt. [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] and the grandfather of [[Dillard-358|James Dillard, Jr.]] as [[ James Dillard]], a Captain in the French & Indian war, who died in Amherst in 1768. (Note: Pending merge of Dillard-83 and Dillard-1580 as the father of Capt. James)
From Sweeny's ''Virginia in the Revolution'':Sweeny, Lenora Higginbotham. 1998. ''Amherst County, Virginia in the Revolution: including extracts from "Lost Order Book", 1773-1782''. Greenville, SC: Southern Historical Press.
"There were three James Dillards living in Amherst Co., during the Revolution:
Capt. [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] (b. 1727: d.1794), son of [[Dillard-1580 or Dillard-83|Capt. James Dillard]] (d.1768) of the French & Indian War;
Capt. [[Dillard-358|James Dillard, Jr]]., an officer in the Contl. Army; and
Capt. [[Dillard-301|James Dillard]] (b. 1744; d. 1823), son of [[Dillard-362|Thomas]] and [[Holloway-1440|Elizabeth (Holliday) Dillard]] of Spotsylvania Co., Va."

There are almost no records of the soldiers from Albemarle/Amherst who fought in the French & Indian War, so the existence of James Dillard d. 1768 cannot be proven or disproven. The one record that does exist is in the Amherst County Order Book - in which is a list of soldiers who had proved service in order to obtain bounty land. However, this entry is from 1773 - after the death of James Dillard, so he would not be listed. Dillards were living in Albemarle at the time of the war, so it would be entirely reasonable to assume some Dillard men from there fought in the war.

===Family===
From the [http://revwarapps.org/w7019.pdf Revolutionary War Pension Application ] of [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]]:
...My father, [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]], was born 15th Oct., 1727, and married to my mother [[Hunt-3151|Mary Ann Hunt]], the 8th of July, 1748. The said [[Hunt-3151|Mary Ann Hunt]] was born 28th April, 1734 (old style). My mother, [[Hunt-3151|Mary Ann Dillard]], departed this life 26th August, 1787, aged 53; my father, [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]], departed this life 24th August, 1794, aged 67. ...
Note: [[Hunt-3151|Mary Ann (Hunt) Dillard]] was a daughter of [[Hunt-13918|John Hunt, Sr.]], and wife, [[Ladd-1699|Ann]].
Footnote: Capt. [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]] was a grandson of [[Dillard-1580|James Dillard]], (d. in Amherst Co., 1768) Captain of a Company of Rangers in the French & Indian War.

[[Cowper-541|Joseph Cowper]] & Wife versus [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]] (Case #1804-030)

Amherst County, Virginia

https://www.lva.virginia.gov/chancery/case_detail.asp?CFN=009-1804-030

Below are abstracts of the papers found in the above case file.

Nov 1802
Plaintiffs are [[Cowper-541|Joseph Cowper]] & [[Dillard-2150|Jane]] (daughter of James Dillard) his wife.
[[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] died intestate.
At the time of his death there were five children, [[Dillard-304|John Dillard]], [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]], [[Dillard-2151|Elizabeth]] married to [[Scott-41714|John Scott]], [[Dillard-1740|Mary Ann]] married to [[Gresham-143|Thomas Gresham]], and [[Dillard-2150|Jane Cowper]].
The Plaintiffs believe they are entitled to one-fifth of the estate of [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]]. Some time after the death of the father, the afore mentioned [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]] of Amherst took out letters of administration in the estate of his father and took possession of the considerable estate. There was an agreement amongst the heirs that James Dillard was empowered to sell the lands and distribute the monies. The defendant has taken possession of the lands and receives the rents and profits from them. The defendant also purchased one of the tracts of land. The defendant has paid [[Dillard-304|John Dillard]] 225 pounds as his share. He has paid [[Gresham-143|Thomas Gresham]] 135 pounds. The defendant wrote a letter to the Plaintiffs dated 5 September 1795 promising to pay them. The Plaintiffs have asked for an accounting of the estate numerous times and have received none. They believe unknown persons are conspiring to defraud them of their share. They have heard that the defendant has sold some land of the intestate. The Plaintiffs ask for a full accounting of the estate and answers to their questions.

22 November 1797

Answer of [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]]
My [[Dillard-269|father]] departed this life 24 August 1794. He did qualify as the administrator. He did possess the estate of his father, but made a full inventory and appraisal to the court. The negroes were divided among the representatives of the estate. The Complainant and Elizabeth Scott did not get an equal share. We agreed to wait and have their part out of the sale of the estate when it could be collected. The sale was made, but not enough monies have been collected to discharge the debts of the estate. An agreement was made between the parties and is attached to the case. The Respondent agrees that the children of [[Dillard-269|James Dillard]] are as stated. The Respondent states he has paid [[Dillard-304|John Dillard]] 291 pounds and [[Gresham-143|Thomas Gresham]] 218 pounds. He states he paid [[Cowper-541|Joseph Cowper]] 108 pounds and 133 pound to [[Dillard-2151|Elizabeth Scott]] (she being a widow at the time ?). There are considerable debts against the estate and the estate has not yet been settled.
Letter from [[Dillard-358|James Dillard]] to sister (presumably [[Dillard-2150|Jane Cowper]], but not stated)

Buckingham, VA - September 1795
Along with familial greetings, James explains that he doesn't think he can settle the estate for a while due to various reasons.
