>Notes for children of Henry and Ann Byrd/Bird Harris: 1. Winnefred Winney Harris, b. 1767, Orange Co VA., d. 1796, Madison Co KY; married to Joshua Dillingham, married 1786, Henry Co VA, his 2nd wife. Notes: Lived in Henry Co. Va. about 1790, and Madison Co. Ky.bef 1800. I believe Winnefred and Joshua went into Madison Co Ky abt 1794, poss a bit before. Joshua sold his land in Henry/Franklin Co Va in Nov 1794. I believe that Winnefred died when their last child was born in 1795. Winnie's father, Henry Harris, also went to Madison Co. He prob either followed Winnie or she and Josh followed him.

Joshua's 2nd wf was Winnefred Harris dau of Henry Harris and probable sister to Zebulon..Winnefred Harris Dillingham would be the step mother of Elizabeth Dillingham, Zebulon's wife.. Winnefred, appears to be oldest child of Henry and Ann. Her path of migration seems to be from Orange Co VA to Maryland (provided her siblings were born there as speculated); then, back to Orange Co VA in time for Henry to join the Rev. War (according to his pension record). She was married in 1786, Henry Co VA to Joshua Dillingham, and they moved to Madison Co, KY, in the 1790's, as did Henry and Ann Harris, where they died. Martha Patsy Harris and husband Samuel Dent migrated further west to Franklin Co MO where they died. Please let me know your thoughts, comments or updates. Thanks very much.
