Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
William Dye Sr. was a Virginia colonist.

It is generally assumed that William Dye who died in 1810 in North Carolina was the son by that name mentioned in the 1757 will of Avery Dye of Richmond County, Virginia.

"William Dye married in Stafford County, Virginia. His wife's father is most likely Burrell Brown [Braun].... William seemed to be in counties without good records. He must have been close to his uncle Jacob Dye as he may have moved south with Jacob Dye. It appears William Dye moved to Halifax County, Virginia and then on to Granville County, North Carolina. He was a Justice of the Peace in North Carolina.[1]

Some of William's children (per Budai):

  1. William b. about 1746/8, m. (1) ---- Randolph; m. (2) Sarah ----.
  2. Mary, b. 5 Dec. 1753, m. James Randolph (as his second wife).
  3. James Brown Dye, b. about 1755.
  4. Catherine Dye.

Died Y. 1810 Old Grandville, Berte, North Carolina. Age: 90-91.
