Surnames: Dillon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BAT.2ACIB/1131 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information on my great-grandfather. The information I have is minimal because most everyone who could add information is either deceased or they don't remember. His name was George Dillon and he was born in WV (I'm thinking either in Kanawha or Boone County). He was born around Abt. 1880 and married Sarah Goldie Holstein. They had three children (Myrtle, Fred E. and my grandmother Lillian Rosella). Supposedly he died while pitching on a baseball team in 1907 and a batted ball hit him in the chest. It's believed this happened either in Peytona or Racine, WV. One of my uncles said he thought George's middle name was Paris (Parris/Pearis). I ran across a Parris Dillon in Putnam County, WV with a son named George but I don't think this is the one. I would sincerely appreciate any information anyone could add. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
