DESCENDANTS OF HIRAM WORTHINGTON DILLE SON DAVID JR.
by Jay D. Andrews

The Dille Book has one line on Hiram W. Dille as follows:

''Hiram Worthington Dille, b. 16 Jun 1814 d 1863 m 1833 Alvina Robbison."

I read the 1850 census for Iroquois C.o. , IL as follows:

Dille, Abram W. 34 m Farmer $200 OH
Alvina 32 f KY
Harriet E. 11 f IL
Gelphi A. 3 f IL
Mary A. 5 f IL
John H. 3 m IL
Charles C. b. 1850 IL (added)

Win O'Hara received the following data from Col. John H. Dilley in Germany:

Grandfather: John Henry Dilley, b. 2 Nov 1848, Momence, Kankakee Co. IL. d 30
Sep 1933 Grant City, MO.

Grandmother: Sarah , Jane (Cale) Dilley b. 8 Nov 1850 Sarahville, OH. d 7
Oct 1933 Grant City, MO.

Father: Murray Benjamin Dilley b. 18 Feb 1882, Carl, IA. d 28 Feb 1948 ,
San Antonio, TX.

Mother: Lily Grace (Wardrop) Dilley, b. 4 May 1880, Walloon Lake, MI d 5 Apr
1948, Kansas City, KS

Family of Murray B. and Lily Grace Dilley:

1. Murray B. Dilley, Jr. b. 20 Jun 1909, Manilla, P.I. d 14 Aug 1941,
Whitletts, Scotland in a plane crash as a member of British Ferry Command.

2. John H. Dilley, b. 20 Jun 1911, Manilla, P.I.

3. Charles Gordon, b. 19 Jan 1913 at Governor's Island, N.Y.

Present address: 1510 Armstrong Ave., Kansas City, KS

4. Stanley W. Dilley, b. 21 Sep 1915 Governor's Island, N.Y.
Present address: Ann Arbor, MI

Notes: Hiram W. Dille was a son of David Dille Jr. of Cuyahoga Co., OH in the NE corner of the state. He was one of the youngest sons of David Jr., and he moved to Kankakee Co., IL, probably following his older brother Samuel Wade Dille who moved there about l838. The critical facts that link this family to David Dille Jr. are the site of Momence, the name Alvina for Hiram's wife, and his appearance in the 1850 census for Iroquois Co. IL with a son age 3 years named John Henry Dille. The minor variation in the cencus age is understandable. The delay from 1833 to 1839 in birth of the first child is unusual but possible. There are enough clues of dates and sites to pursue this branch of David's clan in census records and other sources. The ''good'' Colonel, as Win calls him, provided a good record of his clan and his ancestry. It appears that the John H. Dille in the 1850 census was the John Henry Dille b. 2 Nov 1848 at Momence, IL.
