William Greer, JP James Smartt. JP James Hartt, JP " Contribtor's Note: Robert Bell married a Dolly “Dilyard” [obviously Dolly Dillard] in Mecklenburg County on April 26, 1808. Bondsman Jacob Julien. Isaac Alexander witness. Source: Brent H. Holcomb, Compiler: Marriages of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina 1783-1868, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1981, at page 16. This explains his one-fourth share of the Dillard Estate above. Alsey Fuller’s one-fourth share in the above estate can only be explained by his marriage to Sarah Dillard. Sarah Fuller and Alsey Fuller are buried at Flint Hill Baptist Church Cemetery in Fort Mill, SC. Alsey Fuller died August 11, 1843, in the 66th year of his age. Sarah Fuller died December 29, 1845 in the 63rd year of her age. By elimination, James Richardson’s one-fourth share of the above estate is likely explained by a marriage to Nancy Dillard. I have not found any more direct evidence of such a marriage. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
