I have some information from my Grandmother's research that traces back to William DePriest Senior born 24 Oct 1689 in Franch, dies 2 mar 1738 Goochland Virginia. He apparently had a son (of 14 children) named William DePriest Jr. born 1725, don't know where, died 13 Mar 1768 in Henvry VA, married to Tabitha Tony. On their group sheet there is only one child listed which seems unlikely, but our line comes through the listed child.His name was Randolph DePriest born 1767 and he died 29 Sep 1830 in Hickman TN.Spouse is unknown but he had at least a son named Jesse DePriest born 24 Jun 1797 in NC and died 14 Jan 1873 in Hickman TN. His wife is listed as Nancy Andrews but another spouse listed is Sarah K. Davison. Jesse and Nancy Andrews had 8 children that appear to have all been born in Tennessee from 1820-1831.Perhaps one of their sons would be the father of your William. There is only one son that I think that dates might work for your William, it would be their son, Hugh DePriest born 4 jan 1820 died 9 Aug 1892 in Perry,TN
Married: Mary Amanda Vandlandingham they were married 5 June 1843 in Dickson Co, Tennessee.Otherwise I think it would be likely that Jesse DePriest was not the only child of Randolph DePriest and that there is a connection there.Sorry to not have more info, when they followed the line back they didn't expand to include siblings, only the direct line.I hope this helps somehow.
