About 1745 William Shreve and Freelove Dyer went to Fairfax County,Virginia to live. He died there about 1750. His widow, Freelove, appearsupon the court records of Fairfax and Loudon Counties, petitioning forher dower, and her sons, Benjamin and William are acting for her. (WFT16, #2071) Seventh child and fourth son of Daniel Shreve and Jane. William Shreveappears to be the founder of the Loudon County Shreves, and, hence of theWest Virginia Shreve lineage. Luther Allen indicates that 'about 1745William Shreve and Freelove Dyer went to Fairfax Co., Va. to live' (Allen1901, p. 28). At this time Loudon County was a part of Fairfax County.The following Fairfax land surveys confirm Allen's report: William Shrieve, no wart, date from surv, 26 Feb. 1744 - 2 Apr. 1745; 335a. on Secolon Br; adj Joh Phillips, Stacy Beaks, Landon Carter, Majr.Cock.

William Shrever of Fairfax Co. 665 A. in Fairfax Co. Surv. Mr. AmosJanney. Near Round Hill, adj. Herman Cox, Thomas Gregg, William Harris,John Hanby. 9 Sept 1746. Some of William's descendants remained in Loudon County until 1800, whileothers were involved in exploring Harrison, Pendleton and Randolphcounties in what is now West Virginia between 1750 and 1800. Luther Allen's History and Genealogy is the primary source of informationabout the offspring of William Shreve and Freelove Dyer. Allen recordsthe following children: William, Elizabeth, Mary, James, and Benjamin.There is evidence to suggest that at least three sons are missing fromthis accounting: Daniel, Joseph and John. [From: 'Gregory M. Shreve'<gshreve@@ix.netcom.com>] There is ample documentary evidence to support the missing sonshypothesis, adding Daniel, Joseph and John to the list of sons of Williamand Freelove Dyer. For Shreve Genealogists it is the addition of John Shreve that is soimportant. Together James and John founded most of the Shreve lines inWest Virginia. John Senior's son John Shreve (m. Eliza Platt) founded thePendleton Shreves, John Shreve's son William founded the Randolph CountyShreves, and James' sons founded the Upshur, Monongalia and Lewis CountyShreves.
