  (a) The following is taken from "History and Life of John A Bowen"(As Written by Himself On Thanksgiving Day, November 29, 1928.)Proctorville, Ohio. "On the 19th day of Oct. 1864 and on the Morning before daylight at Cedar Creek, Va., when General Early's Army crossed the South Branch of the Potomac during the night of Oct. 18th, 1864 and surprised our command. There being a dense fog that morning the rebels advanced right on us before we were aware of their presence. The fog was so dense that we could not see 50 feet from us or our line of battle and when they opened fire on our lines they were not over 60 feet from our line. At the first fire Lieutenant John Zimmerman received a broken leg and at the very first began to beg the boys not to leave him and did not cease to intreat the boys not to leave him. But our lines soon broke and we retreated and as we were on the run I heard Lieutenant John Zimmerman call out "For Gods Sake Boys do not leave me. At this God thrilling voice percing my heart I undaringly turned about and ran back right up almost in the enemy's fire and lines and picked him up and carried him to safety. But comrade Zimmerman never returned to the company any more but returned home after the war and was always looked upon as one of Lawrence County's very best and most beloved citizens."

Born in Miller, Lawrence Co., OH, according to his WWI military record, he was also one of three sons of 'Alph' and Bettie to serve in WWI. His photo also describes his military unit and length of service. Alpha Leroy is a third generation descendant of McCager Dillon(1786-1859) and Mary "Polly" Callicott from Franklin Co., Virginia. Betty E. Fulks was the sister of John E. Fulks, who married Jennie Bertha Dillon, daughter of William S. and Rachel Reed Dillon, thus connecting this Dillon family with a second Dillon line from Pennsylvania. Jennie Bertha Dillon was the sister of Vincent F. Dillon of South Point. ((Photo courtesy of Barbara Madden at: barbmadden@nctv.com)
• 13-174) Elwood Dillon, Sarah Baker Dillon grave (48 KB)
  (b) Elwood Dillon(1836-1927), the son of Hugh Dillon and Catherine Schultz Dillon, lies here buried in the Stockton Cemetery, Rooks Co., Kansas. Born in Monroe Co., Ohio, probably the second child to Hugh and Catherine, and probably the first born in Monroe Co., following the probable resettlement of Hugh and Catherine to Ohio with their extended family. Elwood married Sarah Baker in Allen Co., Indiana in 1862 and later is listed in the 1920 Woodward Co., Oklahoma Census living with the family of his daughter, Rosa May Dillon and her husband, Charles Edwin Mitten. How or when Elwood and Sarah got to Rooks Co., is not clearly understood. However, a descendant has described that "Elwood homesteaded on a quarter section of ground a few miles south of old Webster, where not too many years ago you could see bits of the old sod house they originally lived in." The son of Elwood and Sarah, Jacob Henry Dillon and his wife, Fannie E. Hartman, are known to have lived in or near the community of Webster in Rooks Co., and are also buried in the Stockton Cemetery. Elwood and Sarah are known to have had the following children: Jacob Henry, Benjamin F., Margaret, Susan K. and Rosa May Dillon. (photo courtesy of Rusty Fuzzell at: rustyfuzzell@hotmail.com)
• 14-71) John Zimmerman with Berkley, Leland Dillon (44 KB)
  (a) (b) John Zimmerman(1827-1909) with brothers, Berkley F. Dillon(1901-1966) and Leland S. Dillon(1903-1960). John Zimmerman, of the 5th WV Volunteers, during the Civil War, had an exciting experience at the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, the morning of October 19, 1964, when his unit was ambushed by a Rebel unit commanded by Jubal Early. Sgt. Zimmerman was wounded in the right leg, just above the ankle and nearly captured.(The story of this near capture and rescue by members of his unit are on the Lawrence Co. website page as well as John Zimmerman's family page at THE DILLON FAMILY GENEALOGY website, Rootsweb's WorldConnect website.) The night following the Cedar Creek skirmish, John Zimmerman was operated on, the doctor removing a 'minnie ball' which John kept for years. Years later, after years of pain and suffering, a Proctorivllle doctor, Dr. Reynolds, operated again on the leg and removed a second 'minnie ball' from the same location in his right leg. John, from that point, wondered whether two "Rebs" had shot him or one "Reb" with two 'minnie balls. Berkley F. Dillon remarked years later that he always remembered 'Grandpa Zimmerman' walking with a limp. Berkley and Leland were the sons of Vincent F. and Nettie A. Dillon, also on this site.
• 15-10) Barbara Jane Lewis Smith Dillon(1838-1932) (35 KB)

She first married Jacob D. Smith who died in 1869. Their son, Jacob, became a state senator representing the Hamilin, WV area. In 1872, Barbara Jane married John Dillon. Presumably she may have met John in the Windsor Twp. or Crown City area where John lived and farmed in Gallia Co., as John's brother, Vincent Dillon Sr., also lived in Windsor Twp. Barbara Jane's gravesite photo was taken in the Harvey's Creek Cemetery near W. Hamlin, Lincoln Co., WV.
• 15a-247) Ferry Leroy Dillon(1894-1956) (15 KB)
  (a) Ferry Leroy was the second eldest son of Alpha Leroy and Betty Fulks Dillon. Born in Miller, Lawrence Co., OH, according to his WWI military record, he was also one of three sons of 'Alph' and Bettie to serve in WWI. His photo also describes his military unit and length of service. Ferry Leroy and his wife, Addie Bowman Dillon, are buried in the Crown City Cemetery, Gallia Co., Ohio. His father, Alpha Leroy is a third generation descendant of McCager Dillon(1786-1859) and Mary "Polly" Callicott from Franklin Co., Virginia. Betty E. Fulks was the sister of John E. Fulks, who married Jennie Bertha Dillon, daughter of William S. and Rachel Reed Dillon, thus connecting this Dillon family with a second Dillon line from Pennsylvania.

• 16-175) Jacob Henry Dillon, wife, Fannie and sons (17 KB)
  (b) Here pictured are Jacob Henry Dillon with wife, Fannie E. Hartman and sons, Fred E. and Clarence W. Dillon in a photo believed to have been taken about 1900, perhaps at their residence in or near Red Cloud, Webster Co., Nebraska, located near the Kansas line. It seems Jacob and his family later moved a short distance to the south and west to Webster in Rooks Co., Kansas. Jacob was the son of Elwood Dillon(1836-1927) and Sarah Baker Dillon, and the grandson of Hugh Dillon(abt1810-abt1895) and Catherine Schultz, whose extended family is profiled elsewhere at this site. Jacob Henry, it seems, may have been named after two uncles, both Civil War veterans. Little is know about the life of this family and an ongoing research will hopefully reveal additional information. (photo courtesy of Rusty Fuzzell at: rustyfuzzell@hotmail.com)
• 17-72) John Zimmerman, Mary Ellen Lewis gravesite (79 KB)
  (a) This photo of the John Zimmerman - Mary Ellen Lewis Zimmerman gravesite, is located in the Old Rome Methodist Cemetery, adjacent to the Rome Chapel, also at this site. Mary Ellen Lewis(1845-1917) was the daughter of Wilson B. Lewis and Elizabeth Sowards. She was the half-sister of Nettie Dillon(shown at this site) by virtue of their common mother, Elizabeth Sowards. Mary Ellen was, however, 28 years older than Nettie, whom she and husband, John Zimmerman, adopted in 1873 upon the death of Elizabeth Sowards, shortly after the birth of Nettie Dillon.

  (a) (b) Early childhood photo of Nettie Dillon, the last child of William Cyrus Dillon(1817-1903) and Elizabeth Sowards(1826-1873).

Mary, the wife of John Zimmerman(1837-1909), was the daughter of Wilson B. Lewis(1821-1859) and Elizabeth Sowards. Mary and John had lost one or two infant children just prior to Nettie's birth. As Mary and John never had children additional children, Nettie was raised as an only child, a unusual experience at a time when most local farm families were quite large. Nettie was known early by her future husband, Vincent F. Dillon, a nearby neighbor, who advised all competitors for her attentions that Nettie was "his girl". She eventually married Vincent Dillon at the age of 22 in 1895, probably at the Rome Chapel in La Belle. Nettie and Vincent raised nine children to adulthood and shared the responsibility for the 'upbringing' of four grandchildren. Nettie spent the remainder of her life in the Proctorville-South Point area. She is buried with her husband, Vincent, in the New Rome Cemetery, not far from the gravesites of John and Mary Lewis Zimmerman. Nettie was a member of an extensive line of Dillons which traced their heritage back to Virginia. The abundance of these Dillons throughout Lawrence Co. and the nearby counties of West Virginia continues to the present.

• 34-75) Dillon Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Ohio (101 KB)
  (a) This old oak stump, approxmately five feet in diameter, is located in the middle of what may have been a more prominent cemetery, now reduced to a few stones, several remain with legible inscriptions. It is located and unfenced in the middle of a cultivated field just north of the intersection of Rte 775 with Greasy Ridge Road, in Windsor Twp., a couple of hundred yards to the east. The stump is perhaps a remnant of the virgin forest our forefathers encountered in the late 1700s and early 1820s when they first resettled into this region. Emily Dillon, Harriet S. Dillon and Louisa J. Dillon are three individuals whose stones have been identified. Harriet S. and Louisa J. were most probably the daughters of Squire Jerimiah Dillon Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Thornton. Squire Jerimiah was the son of Squire Dillon from Franklin Co., Virginia. Squire Dillon was known to have been in this area in the late 1820s, the only Dillon listed with the 1830 Lawrence Co. Federal Census.
• 35-13) McCager Dillon gravesite(1786-1859) (61 KB)
  (a) McCager's gravesite, in the Kingery Cemetery, Lawrence Co., OH, is the final resting place for McCager, a family member of probably the earliest Dillons to Lawrence Co. Though he appears in the 1840 Lawrence Co. Census, family stories suggest he may have arrived as early as 1831, when he crossed the Ohio River near Millersport(Millers), settling on a plot of ground on Greasy Ridge in Windsor Twp., the terminus of a long journey from Franklin Co., VA. Here he commenced the arduous task of building a home, starting a farm and raising a family in the wilderness. McCager was the son of Samuel James Dillon(c1758-1836) of Franklin Co., VA and the husband of Mary "Polly" Callicoat(c1790-1874), buried near her husband.

  (a) Elizabeth(1826-1873) was the daughter of Griffin S. Sowards(1799-1881) from Virginia and Mary Elizabeth Perkins(1807-1874). She first married Wilson B. Lewis prior to her 16th birthday in 1842. They had at least five children prior to Wilson's untimely death at the age of 38. Elizabeth, next married William Cyrus Dillon(1817-1903), a widower with young children. Elizabeth and William merged their two families and had nine more children. She died eighteen days after the birth of her 14th child, Nettie Alberta Dillon, August 8, 1873. Nettie Alberta, also at this site, later said, she was not sure she had ever met all her brothers and sisters. Elizabeth's gravesite in the Kingry Cemetery, Windsor Twp., Lawrence Co., OH, is next to her husband, William C. Dillon.

• 39-15) William C. Dillon gravesite(1817-1903) (55 KB)
  (a) William Cyrus was the 4th child and 2nd eldest son of McCager Dillon and Mary "Polly" Callicoat. He was born in Franklin Co., VA, but resettled with his parents and siblings to Lawrence Co., in the early 1830s on Greasy Ridge in Windsor Twp. He first married Elizabeth "Eliza" Pinkerman in 1840 and with whom had, at least six children. After Elizabeth's death about 1852, he married Elizabeth Sowards in 1855, with whom he had nine additional children prior to Elizabeth's death in 1873. Elizabeth had previously been married to Wilson B. Lewis with whom she had five children. With William previous six children and Elizabeth previous five children, William and Elizabeth had a combined eleven children before having nine additional children of their own. William's third wife, Mary Jane McConnell, he married in 1875. No information has been received indicating how many children living at home, Mary Jane inherited as William's third wife. The 1870 census lists eight children at home with an additional, Nettie Alberta, born in 1873. The 1880 census lists only two children and a granddaughter. Presumably after the death of Elizabeth Sowards Dillon, the younger children of William and Elizabeth were 'farmed out' to relatives, such as was the case with Nettie Alberta Dillon, the last child of William Cyrus Dillon. William Cyrus and Mary Jane McConnell had no children of their own. It is interesting to note that the lives of William Cyrus Dillon and his last child, Nettie Alberta Dillon, spanned 138 years, 1817 to 1955. William Cyrus lies here buried in the Kingery Cemetery, next to his second wife, Elizabeth Sowards Dillon.
• 40-78) Jacob Dillon Family c.1900 (80 KB)
  (b) The family of Jacob Dillon and Elizabeth Bunting probably taken about 1900. L to R from the rear, Maggie, Elwood, Bill, John and Kate. Front row, Darcus, Lida(Lied), Jacob, Elizabeth and Clarrissa(Clarissy). Maggie and Darcus were twins. Clarrissa and Nancy(not pictured) were twins. Nancy died at the age of 5. As a Civil War veteran, Jacob was a member of the 116th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, along with his brother, Henry, his cousin, John Dillon, and his uncle, Peter Dillon.(John Dillon and Peter Dillon are also at this site.) He was wounded in the Battle of Piedmont, Virginia. He was later imprisoned at the infamous Andersonville, Georgia, POW camp. Jacob(1841-1904) was born in Monroe Co., OH, and lived there until after the Civil War. In later years he resettled with his wife, Elizabeth Bunting Dillon, to Tyler Co., WV, near the community of Booher, where he and Elizabeth are buried. Jacob was the son of Hugh and Catherine Schultz Dillon, grandson of John and Rachel Hamilton Dillon and great grandson of Peter and Mary Veghte Dillon, all from Greene Co., PA.(Peter Dillon Sr. is also at this site.)
• 41-16) Mary "Polly" Callicoat Dillon gravesite (53 KB)
  (a) Born, about 1790 in Virginia or North Carolina, the daughter of William Callicoat and Elizabeth Ashworth, Mary married McCager Dillon in 1808 in Franklin Co., Virginia. Of the eight children recorded for McCager and Mary Dillon, only the youngest, Seymore, has been confirmed to have been born in Lawrence Co., OH, in 1832, when McCager and Mary resettled to Greasy Ridge in Windsor Twp. The 1860 Census lists Mary Dillon, age 67, living(alone) adjacent to John W. Dillon, Ceymore Dillon, Elizabeth Dillon McMahan, William C. Dillon and Peter Dillon, these latter five probably being her children. There is a tale passed along through the Dillons which suggests Mary Callicoat was a 'full-bloodied' indian. However, no record has been located to confirm this. However, of comparable interest might be the circumstances which spawned this interesting tale. Mary lies here in the Kingery Cemetery next to her husband, McCager Dillon.

  (b) The tall fir tree in the near center is located in the Hamilton Cemetery, Summit Twp., Monroe Co., Ohio. Many of the graves in this cemetery are Dillon, Hamilton, Denbow and Morris family members. These families intermarried extensively during their time in this general location in the early-middle 1800s. Located a couple of miles to the west of the present community of Lewisville, John Dillon(abt.1785-1848) and wife, Rachel Hamilton Dillon, with sons, Vincent, Thomas, Peter, Hamilton, John Jr., and Hugh, eked out an existence in these surrounding hills.

Sister, Rachel, moved with Vincent Sr., his family and father to Lawrence Co. about 1846-7. It is believed, but unverified, that Rachel Hamilton Dillon died about 1840 and may have been buried in this cemetery.

Joshua enlisted in the Army at the age of 17 in 1861. He served in Company D, 5th Regiment, Virginia Infantry, and with Company E, 1st Regiment, West Virginia Veteran Infantry Volunteers. Testimony attests that Joshua Dillon was a member of a special scout unit known as "Blazer's Scouts," after their commander, Captain Richard Blazer. Blazer's unit was made up of some of the best men from Ohio and West Virginia, chosen for their knowledge of the woods and their expert marksmanship. After the War he returned to Lawrence Co. and married Lucy Roach in 1866. This union produced nine children.

  (b) Peter was the third eldest child and second eldest son of Vincent Dillon Sr. and Hannah Jackson and the last of their children to have been born on the ancestral PA farm of his ggrandfather, Peter Dillon Sr. His given name was probably taken from his ggrandfather, or his uncle, brother of his father, both interesting and unique individuals. His middle name was the maiden name of his paternal grandmother, Rachel Hamilton. The following description Peter H. and his family is taken from the 1882 Hardesty - 1887 Lake Atlas of Lawrence Co. State of Ohio; "Peter H. Dillon was born in Greene Co., PA, September 1, 1833." "His parents(Vincent Dillon and Hannah Jackson) moved to Lawrence Co., OH, in 1847, from Monroe Co., OH, settling in Windsor Twp. Peter was a self-educated man, school facilities being very limited. He turned his attention to teaching, in which he was very successful, teaching thirteen years. In 1870, April 20, he was married to Sarah E. Sites, whose birth took place in Lawrence Co., OH, November 23, 1848. Mr Dillon abandoned teaching after his marriage, and engaged in farming in Rome Township. While residing there a fire destroyed all his household effects excepting four or five articles. He then in 1877, moved to Getaway, where he opened a general merchandise store in company with J. C. Synder. In 1878, he relinquished his business and returned to farming, buying the placed where he now resides. He is now considered among the best of our farmers. The children of Mr and Mrs Dillon are: Della L. born July 2, 1871; Otto W., August 14, 1873; Maggie E., March 8, 1875; Clarence B., August 17, 1877; Elmer W., September 30, 1879."

• 88-198) Vincent Dillon, Sr.(1809-1892) (^# KB)
  (b) A careful study and review of a treasure of Dillon family photos has resulted in the conclusion that this TinType photo is likely Vincent Dillon, Sr., born most likely in Franklin Twp., Greene Co., PA, the probable eldest son of John Dillon (c1786-1848) and Rachel Hamilton (c1786- c1840). Married to Hannah Jackson(1810-1889) c1830, he resettled with his young family, including his parents, to the virgin forests of southeastern Ohio in the early to middle 1830s where in the company of his father and four brothers, Hugh, Peter, Hamilton and Thomas, he acquired federal land, and began the arduous task of establishing a survival and a home in the Ohio wilderness. By the middle to late 1840s, Vincent found the urge to resettle himself farther down the Ohio River, where cheap land was available in Lawrence Co. In 1847, with his family, his father, John, and, at least two sisters, Eleanor and Rachel, he resettled to Windsor Twp., where he eventually held title to 600 acres of 'highlands' not far from the present community of Scottown. He lived here the remainder of his life, acquired prominence as a highly respected elder for nearly fifty years, and was buried in what is now described as the Scottown Cemetery (Wi-30), originally established by Vincent as a family cemetery on his land. Vincent and Hannah were the parents of thirteen children, twelve of whom reached adulthood. (photo courtesy of Connie Dillon Hutchison at:

Probably living in Franklin Twp., she eventually married Abraham Dillon(1793-1859), November 21, 1818. Abraham was the son of Peter Dillon, Sr., (gravesite also at this site) and Mary Veghte, who were living on "Conquest," 405 acres located at the extreme southern region of Franklin Twp. adjacent to Wayne Twp. Shortly thereafter Catharine and family resettled to the Coshocton/Knox Cos. region with most of their extended family. They became the parents at eleven children, nine of whom were probably born in Ohio. By the late 1830s, Abraham and Catharine resettled to the St. Joseph region of Buchanan Co., MO, where the youngest two remaining children were eventually born. According to Dillon researcher, Talmage Owen Dillon, Catharine's husband, Abraham, "was an unusually large, powerful man of true Irish type with blue eyes and dark hair," who "migrated to Missouri around 1837," to a place "five miles north of St. Joseph along what was thereafter known as Dillon Creek. There he erected a gristmill that was the first in that section of the country." Catharine's gravesite, here shown, is located in the Mt. Mora Cemetery, St. Joseph. Her tombstone, barely legible in 2000, reads: CATHARINE/ WIFE/ OF/ ABRAHAM DILLON/ DIED/ Apr. 22, 1873/ AGED/[illegible, 78 or 79 yr] 6 MO/ 2 [days].

  (b) This photo was found in the family Bible of Vincent E. Dillon(1847-1910). If accurate, Vincent was known to have had only two daughters. Perhaps they were Vincent's daughters and friends. It seems unlikely they were cousins. Vincent was an 'only' child. His father, Hamilton Dillon(1823-1849) died shortly after his birth. His mother, Elizabeth Denbow(1827-1890) was married three times; her first two husbands, William N. Wise(1827-1848) and Hamilton Dillon, both died very prematurely. She also outlived her third husband, Joseph Fisher(1806-1868). Given the significant age differential between Vincent and his stepbrothers and stepsisters, these ladies were probably not the children of his stepsiblings.

  (b) This is a unique old photograph, which in itself includes even older photos of family members. James Mellott(1872-1957) is shown here with his wife, Mary Rachel Florence Dillon(1878-1971), son, Arthur and daughter, Violet Grace. Also pictured in the background in the corner of the room, are son, Lloyd Beaumont, daughter, Leona Lorinda to the right, and Samuel Dillon, the father of Mary Rachel Florence, on the wall to the right. This photo was taken in the living room of the family home, probably in Steubenville, Jefferson Co., Ohio. Samuel Dillon was the son of Hugh Dillon and Catherine Schultz Dillon profiled elsewhere at DILLON FOLK. (photo courtesy of Connie Grimm at: cgrimm1959@aol.com). She is the granddaughter of Violet Grace Mellott.
• 113-211) Vincent Dillon Monroe Co., OH land(1847) (72 KB)
  (b) The land in the middle background, T6 R7 S12, just at the edge of Summit Twp., and located just to the west of the intersection of SR 79 and SR 145, would have been the approximate location where Vincent Dillon, Sr. lived and farmed in 1847 just prior to his departure and resettlement to Lawrence Co. According the John William Sherman 'Sherm" Dillon 'Dillon family narrative', Vincent's father, John Dillon, would have been living with Vincent and his family in 1847. This location is a few miles to the southwest of the community of Lewisville. The wife of John Dillon, Rachel Hamilton Dillon, is reported to have died a few years earlier(abt 1840) and is believed to have been buried in the Hamilton Cemetery, a couple of miles north of this location. By 1869, this land is shown as owned by Jacob H. Hamilton (in the 1869 Monroe Co. land map), and listed as owned by Wire Hamilton in Caldwell's Atlas of Monroe Co., OH, 1898, (by J. A. Caldwell, C. E.). Jacob H. Hamilton would have been a probable nephew of Rachel Hamilton Dillon. Wire Hamilton was a son of Jacob H. Hamilton. So it appears this land remained in the family for some time.

• 120-215) Clarence B. and Mary Gamwell Dillon(1938) (35 KB)
  (b) Clarence B., known commonly as 'CeeBee' Dillon, was the son of Peter Hamilton Dillon and Sarah Elizabeth Sites Dillon, both profiled elsewhere at this Site. Born in Lawrence Co., Ohio, CeeBee eventually became superintendent of Lawrence County schools, later Superintendent of the Glouster, Ohio schools. He is known to have been interested in the Dillon Family history, having exchanged correspondence with another notable Dillon Family researcher, John William Sherman Dillon and perhaps even Talmage Owen Dillon, and is believed to have written and compiled a family history which included information extending back to the period the American Revolution. A copy of this reference, however, remains undiscovered, apparently lost in history, though efforts are currently underway by family members to locate a copy. CeeBee first married, Elizabeth E. Ferguson in 1907 and after her death, Mary Ganewell, in 1926. There were no children by CeeBee in either marriage, though he and his first wife, Elizabeth, eventually adopted a young girl, Leona.

• 123-216) Connie Dillon Hutchison & Henry S. Dillon (49 KB)
  (b) After exchanging internet emails for about a year, 3rd cousins Connie and Henry, together with their families, finally arranged a face to face meeting and family reunion in February 2003, at the Texas home of Connie and her husband, Melvyn Haygood. For both family researchers, this meeting was one of those unexpected dreams that came true, a family get-together that would never have happened were it not for their mutual interests in tracing their Dillon roots. Connie is the great granddaughter of Peter Hamilton Dillon and Sarah Elizabeth Sites Dillon of Lawrence Co., Ohio. Henry is the great grandson of William S. Dillon and Rachel Reed Dillon also of Lawrence Co. Peter Hamilton, born in Greene Co., PA and William S., born in Monroe Co., OH, were brothers, both born in the 1830s, to Vincent Dillon, Sr. and Hannah Jackson Dillon, as this family resettled from Pennsylvania to Ohio, on a course across the Virginia panhandle(now WV), down the Ohio River and eventually to Lawrence Co., Ohio by about 1846.
