Possible Parentage of William Aylor

William Aylor is possibly a son of Hans Jacob "Henry" Aylor, an early Germanna Colony Settler, but this is NOT proven. One of Henry's sons, Heinrich "Henry" Aylor, Jr. also acquired land on the Shenandoah River in early Orange/Augusta County, which may point to him as a possible sibling. More research is necessary to prove any relationship.
