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

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
Dye-345 and Dye-335 are not ready to be merged because: Appear to have the same, but duplicated, family. There are some misunderstandings in the connections of these families, and this merge needs to be postponed until his parentage is worked out.
