DILLON FAMILY I am trying to connect my William-Dillon Family to his proper heritage and ancestors. I am searching in the following counties for William’s movements during his lifetime. William was born about 1822 in Monroe County, OH. In 1842, William married Elizabeth Highley, who was living with or next door to James Dillon. However, we do not believe that James was a parent of William. Most likely, he was a cousin or uncle. William and Elizabeth had 3 sons- Abraham, Henry, and John. John died as a young man in Decatur , IA and is buried on his parents farm in Decatur, His father, William, is also buried on the farm --next to his son John. William died about 1876 in Decatur, IA. His son Abraham, took over running the Dillon farm in Decatur. Son Henry moved to Davies Co, MO. Their mother Elizabeth (Highley) Dillon moved to either Daviess co, MO, or Caldwell co, MO. She is buried in Caldwell co and died in 1885. Her son Henry Dillon is buried in Hamilton, MO (Caldwell County). Son Abraham continued to farm the Dillon farm in Decatur county and died 1892 in Decatur, IA. However his wife, Jane (Galpin) Dillon had his body moved to Lineville, IA which I believe is Wayne county. Both Abraham Dillon and his brother Henry Dillon married Galpin sisters. Abraham married Jane Galpin and Henry married Emmaline Galpin, daughters of Ebenezer Galpin and Clarinda Estel. They were married in Decatur, IA. By the way, we are also searching for a Clarinda Estel’s family and ancestors. She died in 1876 in Decatur, IA. I hope with all this detail that someone in Decatur, Caldwell, Davies, or Wayne, Delaware, Hamilton or Monroe counties will be able to help me fill in the missing links, from either county history or local obituaries. I do have the names and dates of the various Dillon children connected to the Dillon and Galpin families. Thank you for your help.
