I am wondering if anyone has a "lost" James Aylor/Ailor/Oehler from the Amherst Co.,VA area. This James Ailor was born in 1774 in Maryland (according to the 1850 census) and supposedly lived around the James River in Virginia as a young boy. It is said that his father and brother were killed during the Revolutionary War.
Somehow, he ended up accompanying a Samuel Sharp to Knox Co.,TN via NC about 1795.
James married Sallie Sharp (dau. of Samuel) in 1804 and had several children that were born in Knox County.
Some of the boys (Luke, John) and the sisters (Hannah Hansard, Joanna Johnson, Elizabeth Johnson) went to Missouri, the rest remained in
Knox County.
I have worked on this line for years and have never been able to connect James back to any family with a widow Ailor/Oehler in Virginia.
There is a possibility that he was "bound out" to Samuel Sharp since he travelled with him so young.
I see by the Maryland records that a William Ahler was a soldier in the Revolution, but I can make no connection.
And I had hoped the special State Census of Maryland of 1778 (that lists all members of the household) would show him, but does not.
Does anyone have ANY clues where this lost Ailor/Aylor/Oehler might fit. I was thinking that if someone else had an Aylor/Oehler/Ahler relative that died in the War, it might help.
I am leaning toward James' father being named James or William.
