William Debard on Sumner Co Tn tax records 1817; in 1819 Sumner co TN find Solomon Debord. William Deboar on 1790 census Stokes Co NC, could be the father of William Deboard b 1769.

smith@wworld.com Shirley Smith: "Anyway, I don't remember what I told you originally, but my husband is the great, great, great grandson of William and Lidda DeBoard. Twice! Their daughter, Mary married Richard Smith approximately 1810. (My husband's great great grandparents).They were married in TN before the families moved to IL.€ The rest of the children were married in White Co., IL with the exception of Solomon.€ (I do not know where he was married.)€ William and Lidda€ had two daughters named Mary.€ The first one as I said married Richard Smith.€ The second one, Mary Salinda married Jonathan Yates.€ " Hurshel DeBoard (HLDebord@aol.com): "There were four Debords that moved to White Co IL between 1818 and 1825. These were 1) William, born about 1769 (wife Lydia), 2) John Debord b 1770/80 in NC, married Jean Kilbe on 19 April 1804 in Wilkes Co, NC with Wm DeBoard as bondsman; and 4) Solomon DeBoard born about 1790, married Margaret Franklin on 9 March 1818 in Sumner, TN. I believe they were all brothers, but I have no proof of this, and have no idea who their parents could have been. Some researchers say Solomon was a son of Wm born 1769, but the census record would not support that. The census records would indicate that William and Lydia had one son (Robert, that married Elizabeth Bolerjack) and at least 6 daughters. The trouble is there were at least 12 DeBoard girls that married in White co IL before 1840, and all 12 girls have been assigned to Wm and Lydia by some researchers. Some of these DeBord girls were obviously daughters of John and Bejamin Debord, but I don't know which is which.
