Robin - thanks so much for posting the obituary notice on Joseph Dillon. Unfortunately, the info you provided does not match anything in my database. However, there is enough similarity to the info I have that I cannot ignore your info. Do you have the siblings and/or parents of Joseph? My great-great- grandfather, Reuben Miller Dillon, was born in 1832 in KY and by 1857 he had moved to Amador County, CA. From that point to the present I have pretty good documentation on him and his descendants. That is documented on my web site @ http://members.aol.com/wbdillon/wa3scw.htm
