William Dye

William Dye was born on April 11, 1784 in South Amboy, Middlesex Co., NJ. His parents emigrated from New Jersey to Mason Co., KY between 1788 to 1793, when he was 4 to 9 years old. William married Charlotte Wells Shotwell Wood on February 02, 1805 in Mason Co., KY. Charlotte was the widow of Abraham Wood; she was also the sister of John Shotwell & Nathan Shotwell who married two of William's sisters. I do not know the names of any children of William & Charlotte. There are two households on the 1810 census of Mason Co., KY headed by William Dye that are in the right age range - one has 2 daughters, and the other has 4 sons and 3 daughters. As William & Charlotte had only been married 5 years, I think the household with 2 children is the most likely, unless Charlotte had children from her previous marriage to Abraham Wood. William is listed as an heir in his father's will that was dated March 15, 1817. I do not have any records for him after that. William Dye died sometime after 1817, probably in Mason Co., KY but that is not for sure.
