In her book, PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH, the late Irene Atwood Byrer wrote: (Page 100) "William and Nancy with their young son Joel came to Wayne County, Kentucky in 1809 and settled in the Mount Pisgah area." This means their second child, Mary, was born in Mt. Pisgah, Wayne Co., Kentucky rather than in Virginia.
Mary's parents moved a few years later to what is now known as Sunnybrook in Wayne Co., Kentucky. The family was living there when Mary married William Lester about 1827. He was the son of Barbara (Harmon) and Edward Lester.
William and Polly were the parents of seventeen children: Melinda, Andrew Jackson, Louisa E., William Emerson, Edward, George Washington, Francis Marion, Jacob, Sarah, James Riley, Nancy Jane, Barbara Leann, Catherine, Henry Harmon, Mary E., and Martha.
