Our Dilley brickwall is Deriah John Dilley, born 1797, in PA, parents thus far unknown to us (Teddy, Martha and me). There is the possibility, though with no proof, that he might have been a son of Caleb named Daniel who was supposed to have left for California in 1849 and was never heard from again. Our Deriah did just that, leaving from Iowa Co. WI in 1849. His name appears in documents as Derial or Dariel, and you all know how often names were miswritten or misspelled......maybe he just ended up going along with it??

Deriah John Dilley, born 1797, Pennsylvania
M. Almira Jameson about 1822 in PA
Children:
Fisher S. b. 1823 in PA
Stuart b. abt. 1824?? Note: We wonder if these two could have been
the same person, as we don't see mention of Fisher S. for many years until he shows up in the Los Angeles Co. voters register in 1866 along with Deriah, but neither is in the 1870 census in that area. Stuart then shows up in 1869 in Utah where he gets married!
Sarah Ann b. 1825 Delaware Co. OH d. 1857 San Jose CA
Barbara Jane b. 1828 " " " d. 1850 Sauk Co. WI
M. Richard Tregaskis 1845
Stephen Barnes b. 1833 " "
Gilbert B. b. 1835 " " "
George W. b. 1838 " " "

In late 1838 the family was in the Mineral Point area, Iowa Co, WI. In 1843 Deriah and Almira were divorced. Sarah Ann married Asabel (Asael) Bennett in 1840, had children George, Melissa and Martha (from whom Teddy and I are descended), and left with her husband and children for California in1849. Deriah left at the same time, but is not mentioned in any of the histories of their travels. He is listed in the El Dorado Co. CA 1850 census with the Bennett family, however, and also was in the Watsonville area with them where they had son John and daughter Barbara Ellen (from whom Martha descends). Then he went to Los Angeles Co. and became a teacher in El Monte, where he was listed in 1863 and in 1865/66, but seems to disappear thereafter.

Stuart married Mary Elizabeth Meredith in Utah in 1869 and had sons Samuel and James and daughter Mary Elizabeth "Annie". We haven't found any death record for him yet.

Stephen was a U.S.Assistant Marshal in WI in 1860. By 1870 he was in Rocky Bar, Alturas Co., Idaho, where he became a Probate Judge. In 1873 he married Rosetta Sidebotham. He is listed in the 1880 census there, but we have no further information as to family or his death.

We know little about Gilbert or George, except that they are listed in the 1860 census as living with Almira in Sauk Co., WI, along with Stephen and a Daniel D. Dilley, age 48, born in Ohio, who could have been a cousin of Deriah's.

So it seems we have a brickwall at the top of our family and a few more down lower........any helpful clues gratefully welcomed!!

I am researching the line of Aaron (New Jersey), Ephraim (New Jersey,Fayette Co., Pa. and Guernsey Co., Ohio), Joseph (same), James R. (GuernseyCo., Noble Co., Carroll Co., Oh.), Ethan Allen Allen (Carroll Co.) My new years resolution is to sort out what happened to the real estate acquired by Ephraim and Joseph in Guernsey Co., Ohio in 1815 - I believe this is the key to documenting the heirs of Ephraim and Joseph. I would also like to figure out if there is any truth to the family legend that Aaron's wife, Hannah Perry was related to Oliver Hazard Perry, hero of the War of 1812. Any help will be appareciated.

I am looking to fill in the descendents of Hiram Worthington Dille and his wife Alvina Robinson or Robbison.

Hiram Worthington Dille was born on June 18, 1814 in Euclid, Cuyahoga Co.,
OH to Daivd Dille Jr. (1752-1797) and Mary Polly Sailor/Saylor (1777-1851). He married Alvina Robinson or Robbison on December 24, 1837 in Lake Co., IN. She was born about 1816 probably in KY.

In 1850, they are listed on the Iroquois Co, IL census with 5 children:

Harriet E. Dille, born abt 1839, IL*
Delphi A. Dill, born abt 1842, IL*
Mary A. Dille, born abt 1845, IL*
**John Henry Dilley, born Nov 2, 1848 in IL
Charles C. Dilley, born abt May 1850, IL*
*per census

**I have extensive info on the descendents of John Henry Dilley, who is my great-grandfather. I also believe I have located his younger brother Charles in Iowa. John Henry Dilley married Sarah Jane Cale on Feb 27, 1877
in Adams Co., IA and they both died in late 1933 in Grant City, Worth Co., MO.

I have (thanks to the gracious sharing of other cousins) ancestory on Sarah Jane Cale, wife of John Henry Dilley and on Mary Polly Sailor/Saylor wife of David Dille, Jr.

I would like to trace the other children and their descendents. Thank you in advance for any info that you care to share.

I'm researching my grandfather, Charles Dille and his line out of Mt. Victory, Ohio. I have to admit I haven't really put it together, because I was hoping that my mother and my uncle Don Dille would do the searching and have the satisfaction that we all find in researching our ancestors and heritage. But their interest hasn't been fueled enough and they are afraid to try using a computer.

So by this point, I'm ready to begin compiling and charting the line. Anyone who is more closely related to my line and have ancestors from this line (David Dille) and would like to pass along more info on the Mt. Victory Dilles, I would welcome your help and input. I have the info from the book, "300 Years of Dilles in America". Thanks and welcome to all the new members...this is a great group. But then...of course they would be...they're all Dilles, Dilleys or relatives of Dilles. Good stock.

I am reprinting part of the letter from Margo, with a correction and additions:
Our Dilley brickwall is Deriah John Dilley, born 1797, in PA, parents thus far unknown to us (Teddy, Martha and me). There is the possibility, though with no proof, that he might have been a son of Caleb named Daniel who was supposed to have left for California in 1849 and was never heard from again.

mention of Fisher S. for many years until he

Sarah Ann married Asabel (Asael) Bennett in 1840, had children George, Melissa and Martha (from whom Teddy and I are descended), and left with her husband and children for California in 1849.

CA 1850 census with the Bennett family, however, and also was in the Watsonville area with them where they had son John and daughter Barbara Ellen (from whom Martha descends).This is where the Correction comes.....My records are that this daughter is named Caroline Ella not Barbara Ellen. She was given up to a family named Scott of Scotts Valley, out of Santa Cruz, CA and in 1860 is listed as Caroline. In 1880 she is again living with the Scotts and is 26 years old and listed as their adopted daughter, living with them as a boarder with her children. I don't know where her husband was at this time as I know that he died later and are back together in 1920. Her marriage, unfortunately, lists her as Ella Scott

Any feedback about this is welcome.

Hi, this is my initial post to the DILLEY(& DILLE) mailing list. My connection to the DILLE name is through Mary DILLE who is my third great grandmother.

The information I have so far on Mary is very sketchy. Even the spelling of her last name is unsure. All I am aware of is that she was married to a John PRINGLE and according to the 1860 and 1870 census listing for Andrew PRINGLE (he's noted below) she was born in Canada.

John and Mary had Andrew PRINGLE, b.1837 or 1838 in Canada (according to census records), d.14 Feb 1932, Wexford Co., MI (m.Frances Amelina HAINES in 1860). They may have had other children as well.

Any further clues on Mary's family would be appreciated. We have information on descendents through the PRINGLE line we're more than willing to share.

Thanks, Ron Lance

Many thanks to all who have read this far

My brother is Jay Andrews. The Thanksgiving card you made for him was great.
Although I can get lots of information from my brother, I still search for new information. I am studying William Dilley -born 1811 in Mercer, PA - moved to Roseville, IL. He married Mary Axtell in 1833.

I'm searching for David Dille, born 1685 in South Carolina. Also searching for the family ancestors reported to be French Huguenots, went to Scotland, then to Jamaica, later to Charleston, S.C. This is the line that our line of the family has
connected us to. I'm also on three different rootswebs for Alsalce Lorraine, France and two others recently added looking for connections. Also Huguenot rootsweb and Belgium rootsweb. I've found current Dille's and De'Lilles living in Belgium,
some in Brugge and some in Antwerp among others.
