I have been working on this since 1997, and I > can't come up with anything to prove these people even > exist Hi I am trying to understand , If Pearlie Dillon was born 1900 , was he really the son of William Fountain Dillon born 1834 ? Or is it that you are pretty sure that they must be related because they are in very close proximity ? I have a similar dilemna that I have not explored for some time, and that is that I have a William Dillon son of a Thomas Dillon from somewhere in Virginia or West Virginia -Susan
