(b) William Morris Dillon was the son of Thomas Dillon(1819-1885) and Sarah
(Sally) Ann Morris(1818-1898), grandson of John Dillon(1785-1848) and
Rachel Hamilton(1785-1840) and great grandson of Peter Dillon(1754-1823)
and Mary Veghte(1751-1822). William's extended family is profiled extensively
at DILLON FOLK. William was a member of the 22nd Iowa Volunteer
Infantry in the Civil War. Though he was from Lewisville, Monroe Co., OH, he
married a Rachel Farley and was living with her family in Iowa at the outbreak
of the Civil War. His unusual story and history are described at DILLON
FOLK as well as at the site DILLON FAMILY GENEALOGY. He was
eventually buried in Lewisville behind the old German church at the top of the hill. (photo courtesy of Mary Henderson at:
