Edward Dillard, Sr.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dillard-310

"Edward Dillard, Jr., the alleged father of "Rabun" John Dillard, may have been in the area at the same time as an older Edward Dillard. The older Edward Dillard may have been the father of the younger Edward Dillard and a grandfather to "Rabun" John Dillard. John Parks sold to Edward Dillard on November 23, 1737 190 acres in St. Marks Parish, Orange County, later Culpeper County, on Muddy Run of the Great Fork of Rappahannock River adjoining John Bowmer and John Latham.
That this November 23, 1737 deed could be a deed to the elder Edward Dillard is principally based upon the fact that this same 190 acres became the home place of George Dillard, his reputed son, who lived in Culpeper County until 1790 and for whom no deed conveying this property can be found. George Dillard could have obtained title to this property by primogeniture. The younger Edward Dillard, alleged father of "Rabun" John Dillard, owned 100 acres on Gourdvine Fork of Hazel River located elsewhere beginning in 1740.

On the death of George Dillard in 1790 this 190 acre home place was referred to as where “deceased lastly lived” in a deed from the children of George Dillard to their brother, John Dillard, dated January 13, 1791 in the settlement of the real estate of George Dillard under his will."
