Subject: DILLON and GALPIN FAMILIES 1870s

Researchers:

In case their are some new folks on line, I want to again mention my

interest in locating the parents and ancestors of WILLIAM DILLON who was

born in 1822 in OHio. William married Elizabeth (?) about 1844. In the

1850 Monroe County, Green Township, OH census, William and Elizabeth (?)

Dillon had 3 sons: Abraham age 6, Henry age 4 and John age 3.

About 1853 William and family moved to Decatur County, IA. They gave part

of their farm for the Union Cemetery in Decatur County. We think the farm

was actually located in Wayne County, IA.

Henry Dillon, (Son of William and Elizabeth) married Emmaline Dillon who was

the daughter of Ebinezer and Clarinda (Estell) Galpin. The Galpin farm was

quite near to the William Dillon Farm. Abraham Dillon (brother to Henry and

son of William) married Jane Galpin who was a sister of Emmaline.

Henry Dillon continued to live in the area for a short while then moved his

family to Caldwell County, MO. Abraham Dillon lived in the area for the

rest of his life. He and his wife Jane raised their family who also

continued to live in the area.

We think that William DILLON, the father, died about 1875 as he does not

appear in the 1880 census. We hope that his obituary might contain

information on his parents and ancestors in order for us to trace them. Is

there anyone out there researching these families? Thank you for your

help.
