One of the largest clans of the Virginia Dilleys is that I call
the "Cumberland" Dilleys. The town of Cumberland is
located on the southern boundary of Guernsey Co., OH. This location
is critical and difficult for research because the county boundaries
were changed, and a new county of Noble was founded in 1851 from
Guernsey, Morgan and Monroe counties. Some of the Cumberland Dilleys
lived in the town as tradesmen and others just south of it in
Morgan Co. Therefore, they appeared in several county censuses,
although often the same townships, including Morgan and Muskingum
counties. They may have lived in the same places but the county
boundaries around them changed during the 1840s and 1850s and
particularly in 1851 when Noble Co. was created. My purpose here
is to give a descriptive account of the clan with my interpretations
of their relationships. The supporting data are listed in several
sets of census, bible, newspaper, and other records.
In 1839, four brothers appeared in Cumberland town and Morgan
Co. In the newspaper article entitled "Tales of Old Cumberland,"
May Stranathan describes the families of Jonathan, James and Hiram
Dilley living in or near Cumberland village. The 1840 census showed
Luke and Hiram in Cumberland, Spencer Twp, Guernsey Co., whereas
James and Jonathan were living together in Morgan Co., Noble Twp.
Living with James title oldest son and Jonathan in 1840 was an
old couple, and in 1850 a Jesse Dilley age 80 was living with
Jonathan in Morgan Co. Both James and Jonathan were men--hants
in l850 which may mean country stores. but Jonathan was living
in Guernsey. The importance of finding Jesse Dilley living with
these two Virginia born brothers is that a Jesse Dilley appeared
in the 1820 census for Shenandoah Co., Virginia with eleven children
of which five were males. He was still there the 1830 census.
In a biography of Judge Jonathan Dilley of Noble Co., OH, he is
reported as born on the Potomac River some miles from Washington,
but that he was reared in Shenandoah Co., VA. This makes a second
circumstantial evidence of a connection of Jonathan to Jesse and
Shenandoah Co., VA. The ages of Hiram, James, Jonathan and Luke
in 1850 were 38 ', 43, 45, and 50 years respectively. The Stranathan
account reports James., Jonathan and Hiram to be brothers. Luke
was the oldest and is linked mostly by association with the others
at Cumberland as a probable brother. Luke would have been about
20 years of age in 1820 and Jesse had a son in the 15-20 age category
then; the ages of the other three brothers fit the categories
in Jesse's census record fairly well (males Jesse would have been
50 in 1820 (b 1770 in New Jersey), so he could have had
older sons who had left the nest if they were born before 1800
when Jesse was 30, such as Moses b 1794.
There is an older generation of Virginia-born Dilleys who settled
in the corner around SW Guernsey Co. near Cumberland. John and
Moses Dilley arrived in Guernsey Co. about 1812 and they appeared
in the 1820 census with families. Moses left a military record
for the War of 1812 (may have paid a substitute) from Guernsey
Co. He and John Speared in tax records for Morqan Co., which bordered
Guernsey on the south, from 1827 to 1829. John disappeared, but
Moses continued to live in Morgan or adjacent townsship of Muskingum
Co. until 1870,
when he was found in Ross Co. Hanrison Twp with three other Dilley
families including a Moses age 49close by and a Thomas age 54
who be sons of Moses. Apparently, Moses had moved a little SW
to join one or more of his sons in Ross Co., OH. Moses married
Jane McGill 5 Aug 1813 and Moses Jr. was born about l82l. Both
Moses Jr. and Thomas were born in Ohio, which is possible if Moses
Sr., who arrived in Ohio about was their father.
There were several more Virginia Dilleys who appear to have links
to the Cumberland area. Aaron Dilley and his wife, Mary, both
born in Virqinia, appeared in the 1850 census for Allen Co., IN
ages 70 and 60. In the same Lafayette Twp lived George Dilley
age 31. whose sons were Ichabod, Moses and Silas. These are typical
of the biblical names of Virginia Dilleys. This George Dilley
enlisted
35.
for the Civil War at age 40 and was killed. George was b 17
Dec 1819 in Muskingum Co., OH near where Moses lived some 30 years;
but Aaron was some 14 years older than Moses and probably belonged
to Jesse's generation.
Two Virginia-born Dilleys, James C. and George were living in
Licking Co., OH in 1850, ages 31 and 40. These ages would put
their birth years at 1819 and 1810 in Virginia. George
was a merchant. There is no firm evidence at present to link them
to a particular Virginia clan, however, George age 60, and with
the same wife and sons, had moved to Zanesville, Muskingum
Co.. OH by the 1870 census, which is a possible link to the Cumberland
clan. His grown sons were still living with him to operate a mill.
The Abraham Dilley living in Muskingum Co., OH in 1870 was a.
farmer age 54 and a son of Joseph (Ephraim Sr. clan). James C.
Dilley was still living in Licking Co., OH age 40 years in 1860.
There seem to be few records from Jesse's residence in Shenandoah
Co. VA around the 1820 and 1830 censuses. Jesse lived in Loudoun
Co., VA for the 1810 census and he married there Ann Smallwood
of Maryland sometime before 1800. A John Dilley, who lived in
Shenandoah Co. in the 1770s, sold land twice during the decade.
The land was across North Mountain in a valley west of Woodstock,
VA on a branch of the Shenandoah River. It was quite near the
present boundary between Va. and W. VA. I presume that John emigrated
from New Jersey because he appears to be the only Dilley in Shenandoah
Co. who could have been the father of Jesse born in N J. in
1770. 1 presume also, that John was the same man who was on John
Denton's 1775 list of eligible military men in the old Dunmore
Co., VA which later became Page and Shenandoah counties. This
John would have been a relatively young man. John disappeared
after 1780 and he may have been the same as John of Stafford Co.,
VA. He lived in a most inaccessible area of Virginia and was
cut off in winter by having to cross a mountain to get to
the county seat at Woodstock; but he was the owner of considerable
land in a mountain valley.
There was another John Dilley who lived in Stafford Co., VA
on a small branch of the Potomac River. His record is almost as
faint as that of John of Dunmore and Shenandoah counties. John
leased land in 1792 but apparently owned none. He appeared on
the Stafford Co. tax list for 1789 with one male above 16 years
(himself?). From 1790 to 1793, he is listed with two males above
16 years and in 1794 and 1795 with three males above 16. John
had two or three sons, named John, Richard and Joseph. The latter
two married McCoy Girls in adjacent Fauquier Co. VA in 1801 and
1802. John continued on the Tax list through 1805 but was gone
after that. Joseph leased five acres of land with a house and
shops in 1802, but he, John and Richard moved to Washington Co.,
OH before the 1810 census was taken. The leased land was back
in the owners name on the tax list in 1810. The three brothers
began the Washington Co., OH Virginia-Dilley clan which has been
extensively documented by on Dilley of CA in the publication entitled
"Our Ellenwood Clan' by Nellie Gard. What happened to the
father John Dilley is unclear.
There are other Virginia Dilley clans who moved down the Shenandoah
Valley, through West Virginia,, Tennessee or Kentucky, and later
to states north of the Ohio River. The descendants of Christian
Dilley, who lived in Greenbrier Co., W. VA, moved down the Kanawha
River to Lawrence Co., OH about 1814. Barnet, James and Abner
are names found in this clan. Stephen Dilley born 1781 in VA spent
time in Campbell Co., KY before moving to Lawrence Co., IN about
1816. His male children born between 1802 and 1820 were Uriah,
Joseph, Ishmael, James R. and Jonathan B. Stephen belonged to
the Generation of Jesse, Aaron, Moses, and Christian, but the
relationship is unknown. In a 1787 census of Augusta VA, John
Dilley was a taxpayer. This large original county extended westward
interminably, so this could be John of Shenandoah again. There
was also an Aaron Dilley in Berkley Co., VA on this list. Henry
and Martin Dilley, whose records in West Virginia are extensive,
were also taxpayers in Augusta Co in 1810, but their ancestry
is unknown too. My search for Dilley census records in the midwest
allerted me to the existence of 1Virginia Dilleys. I am impressed
by the quality of their descendants. There are numerous searchers
for the Virginia Dilley clans whose records referenced in a bibliography.
36.
(Descendants of Dilleys, Mostly VA Dilleys)
Though Dilley was once a familiar name in Cumberland, I believe not one of that name is now living there. The first Dilleys in Guernsey county were Ephraim Dilley, a Revolutionary soldier, and his wife, Lucy Ayres Dilley who settled in Senecaville soon after the Revolution. Both are buried in the old part of the Senecaville cemetery, although a search for their graves resulted in a failure, since inscriptions are not legible on many of the old stone monuments, many of which have fallen. (Easily found in SE corner near road that leads-south to Senecaville--JDA)
Mrs. Dilley in Battle
A Senecaville man. recently told me that while cleaning up the cemetery, he removed an AMerican flag from the grave of Mrs. Dilley, thinking that it has been placed there by mistake. Afterward he was told by some of her descendants that she was entitled to the flag as she not only ploughed and did other farm work while her husband fought for freedom, but while visiting him she became embroiled in the battle of Monmouth and carried dispatches between the troops and was recognized as a non-commissioned soldier in the Continental Army. Other accounts say that it was her mother-in-law, Hannah Dilley, wife of Aaron, who deserved the flag.
Another Dilley who was an early settler in this part of the country was Jonathan Dilley, who came to Ohio from his home on the Potomac River near Washington in 1839, and to Cunberland in 1841, where he clerked in the store of John A. Boyd. In 1843 he moved to Sarahsville, where for 27 years he was engaged in the mercantile business. In 1869 he was elected probate judge and moved to Caldwell. He married Margaret Nicolson and five children were born to them. Of these, Mrs. Margaret Bowran is still living in Caldwell. The others were Andrew, who married Jennie Jester of Senecaville; Mary who married William Wilson operator of a flour mill in Dexter City; Boyd, clerk of the court of appeals in Cincinnati for 39 years, and Martha, who married Leonard Glidden of Caldwell. (Jonathan was a VA Dilley who migrated to Guernsey Co. in 1839; he was probably a son of Jesse age 80 in 1850 who appeared in the 1820 census of Shenandoah Co., VA with 13 children--JDA)
Two brothers of Jonathan, James and Hiram, were grandparents of the Cumberland Dilleys. James first wife was Sarah Berkley. Their children were Mary Eliza, who married Dr. Charles Draper of Cumberland; Amanda Clark, who before her marriage taught school in the old Wilson school house in the Brookfield district; Martha, shose married name was Hayes; Francis, Thomas and Elizabeth. Elizabeth, who was three years old when her mother died, lived with her sister Mrs. Draper till she married John St. Clair of Coshocton, and Thomas C. St. Clair and Mrs. Gertrude White of Columbus. James Dilley was married twice, his children by this second union being George, Olive, Marvin, Ida and Effie. (Hiram and Luke were merchant and blacksmith in the town of Cumberland on the very southern edge of Guernsey Co. Probably James and Jonathan lived wouth of Cumberland in Morgan Co--later Noble Co--where they appeared in the 1840 census. Note the twp of Brookfield where Luke Dilley another VA Dilley lived south of Cumberland--JDA)
37.
Hiram Dilley lived in Cumberland across the street from the Globe House, which stood where the Presbyterian Church is now. His daughter Nancy married James Bradley, proprietor of the Globe House. The other daughters were Gertrude, better known as Tude, who never married, and Mary Eliza, who married a Mr. Watson, and after living in Cumberland for a time, moved to Claysville. She was the grandmother of W. W. Wilson of Senecaville and Harvey Watson of near Cumberland.
OFFICER IN THE CIVIL WAR
Her husband, John Watson, was first Lieutenant in a company of 100 men during the Civil War. There was some dissatisfaction with their choice of a captain and one said 'John, you be Captain,' and Captain he became in that democratic company. At least such is the story his wife told her grand children.
Hiram Dilleys son, James was a traveling salesman. He married Hannah Thompson, a music teacher who used to teach here. After their marriage they lived in Cambridge, where James was mayor for a time. (He left a will)
It is said of the Dilley family that it sometimes seems that whenever you try to trace any old time history in this locality, you find a Dilley, or the son, grandson, or some other relation of one. There was Martha Dilley who married a Watson and lived in Claysville. One of the descendants tells the story of a young man by the name of Dilley, who was with Morgan when he made his raid through Ohio and stopped at Cumberland. This boy,, seeing an aunt on her front porch looking at the Rebels, called out to her "Hello, Aunt Beck."
CAME FROM FRANCE
From Mrs. Dwight Dudley, near town, whose maiden name was Dilley, I learned that the name was originally Dille, 'the family being French. Three Dille brothers were in the massacre of St. Bartholomew, but were rescued and sent by ships of the English Queen Elizabeth, to the Isle of Guernsey, later coming to New Jersey. (No basis for this claim of French descent--JDA)
Dille Bottoms near St. Clairsville was settled by one of these brothers. The father of Lucy Ayres Dilley was a surgeon in the Revolutionary War and six of her brothers were in the Revolutionary Army. (Dilley Bottoms was site where f ive of David Dille Sr.'s sons lived during the period from about 1793 to about 1830. None of this clan ever lived in Guernsey or adjacent counties to my knowledge--JDA) (Lucy Ayres was the wife of Ephraim Dilley Sr.)
Mrs. Dudley's grandmother, Mary Roland Dilley was born in 1812 on the spot where the Cambridge jail now stands. She was a daughter of Abraham Dilley, a soldier in the War of 1812. Fearing Indian raids, he took his wife to Cambridge to be cared for. Mary Roland Dilley married Dr. Noah Speers Hill. They were parents of 13 children, one of whom, Noah Lovejoy Hill, was the father of Mrs. Dudley. (Mary Roland dau of Abraham Dilley a son of Ephraim Dilley Sr. of Senecaville, Guernsey Co., OH.--JDA)
