Dillard was born in Culpeper County, Virginia and served in the American Revolution, achieving the rank of lieutenant. A later resident of Pittyslvania County, Virginia he participated in the Battle of Guilford Court House. Dillard's ancestor George Dillard had arrived from England to Jamestown, Virginia, in 1650. He resided in Buncombe County, North Carolina for some 33 years where he was active in the formation of the county and the selection of its county seat of Asheville. The state of Georgia acquired from the Cherokee Indians by treaty about 1819 what is now Rabun County, Georgia and sold it by state lottery. John Dillard's youngest son, James Dillard, purchased {{convert|1000|acre|km2}} from Georgia state lottery holders and settled about 1823 in the northeast corner of Georgia in what would later become Rabun County, Georgia and the Town of Dillard. John Dillard accompanied his son in settling in the area becoming one of the earliest settlers in that part of Georgia. According to legend, John Dillard made peace with the Cherokee Indians who were living in the region at that time by "purchasing" the land a muzzle-loading rifle, a jug of apple brandy, a coonskin cap and $3.00. John Dillard died and is buried in Dillard, Georgia. |
