The Dills in Iowa descend from Peter and Phoebe Brown and Sarah Wimmer. 16 of them, and kept having large families till 1930's depression. That cut it to about 5, and now are to 3. Do you know where they were married??? There were and still are Dills around Mt. Ayr that are of Peters line, and didnt even know it till a few days ago. Alot of Dills of this line around Emporia, and next county west. Also think some of the 1880's area are in first county west of MKC, just dont or havent taken the time to get that far forward. If you can help me with marriage location, can probably answer. am finding family more and more in western Ia and Ks. Reason for slowness is that old family story was that A. Lincoln was Dill family Atty in Sangamon Co Ill before he went into politics, Always though, yeah, and I am George Washington. Was at Ill Hist soc. this summer, and Lincoln handled legal work for Dills , 12 pages worth of cases, so have been chasing that one around the field. Got to get focused back west again. Await your reply. thanks for the mail!! cdp SWR4738@aol.com wrote: > This probably has no connection with your family, but - - - > > The History of Kansas, Vol I, by Andreas, page 517 has a biographic sketch of > a John Carson, living in Jefferson Co, KS.
