Person:William Kimbrough (3)

Many people have confused William Kimbrough of Greene Co., GA, with William Kimbrough of Caswell Co., NC (the son of Thomas Kimbrough and Eleanor Graves). They are 2 different people. I have tracked William Kimbrough's (of Greene Co., GA) movements from 1744 to 1803 -- from Amelia Co., VA, to Bute Co., NC, to Wilkes Co., GA, to Greene Co., GA. This William Kimbrough was never, to my knowledge, in Caswell Co., NC.
