Hello List, saw Perry's message about the Dillon family of Caroline co, and I am also descended from that family. In the court records of 1778-79, and 1782-85, when the fellows who served in the militia from Caroline co were charged with Levying War against the State, they had to make bond until their trials. I have James and Joshua Dillen signing the bonds for Richard and Jeremiah Andrew, and also the Andrews signing for the Dillons. Knew there was a connection, as Jeremiah's son Bennet and Joshua's daughter Mary Leah Dillon were married in about 1800. Jim Andrew

Other than the Name JAMES DILLON, I do not have anything in my database on the names mentioned below. Can someone help connect them up? I am starting with a James Dillon age 74 living in Monroe County in 1850 census with his son Thomas age 23. In that 1850 census, James is shown as being born in Maryland. (1776). In reading through some old Monroe County deed records, I find both a James Dillon and a James Dillon Junior. Which indicates to me there must have been a James Dillon Senior living there in the 1840-1850s. There is a slight possibility that James Dillon born around 1776 was the father of a William Dillon born in 1822 who was living in Monroe County Ohio in the 1850 census. Thanks for help.
