Research Notes

For one of the merged profiles, this source originally connected it to James Dillard as father. James Profile has a good bit of information included in it from Dorothy Dillard Hughes's (highly regarded Dillard researcher) research into James. The question is, did the original profile attributed as his son have research that finally connected him as to Edward? Further research should be done to incorporate Dorothy Dillard Hughes research into the correct information. Her research was published in the Dillard Annuals and are available on the Dillard Annuals Space Page.
