All of the above moved to Middle Tennessee between 1793 and 1810 and settled in the Sumner, Smith and Wilson County area.

At the August term, 1774, the record shows that it was ordered: That William Dillard be allowed one pound and five shillings for making a clerk’s table and chair for the King’s Attorney.

Note: Thomas, the elder's, son William moved to Chatham County, North Carolina around 1772.
