Does anyone know if these Dillon girls are related to Sarah Abigail Dillon who married James Lee Burcham in 1877 in Lawrence County? Thanks so much. M.

According to my information posted on my website, they're from separate Dillon lines. Sarah Abigail Dillon was the daughter of Peter Dillon and granddaughter of Squire Dillon(1785-1857) from Franklin Co., Virginia. The Dillon girls referenced below were daughters of Vincent Dillon(1809-1892) and the granddaughters of John and Rachel Hamilton Dillon from Greene Co., PA. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2005 7:18 AM Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] obit J.W.

Carl, This is an absolutely magnificent discovery. I can not thank you sufficiently for posting it. I have the basic information in my data base, but certainly not the details described in the obit. Coincidentally, I passed thru Goldfield, NV in September and would have taken the time to locate the local cemetery and perhaps the gravesite for J. W. Dunfee, had my recall been in high gear. It wouldn't have been too difficult to locate. Goldfield is quite small even today. It is in a lonely, desolate, region of southwestern Nevada andt does not appear to be too prosperous, perhaps relying on a little tourism, some mining and perhaps some ranching. The region is rolling high desert somewhat midway between Reno and Las Vegas. In 1866 Martha Dillon married Isaac Dunfee while her sister, Margaret Dillon, married John C. Dement in a double-ring ceremony in the Gibson Chapel in Scottown. Shortly thereafter, these two ladies and their respective husbands, joined their brother, Isaac Dillon, in Worth Co., MO. Isaac Dillon had married Jane Rapp in 1867. Their location is verified by the 1870 Worth Co. census, which lists the three families in Worth Co. The obit lists Lawrence Co. as the birth location for J. W. Dunfee. However, the 1880 Worth Co. census lists MO as his birth location, where he is living with his family. During the past several years, I have exchanged correspondence and telephone communications with Jim Dunfee, a descendant living in Worth Co. With the passing of Benjamin "Bea" Findley DUNFEE (Isaac and Martha's grandson) in 2000, the original Isaac Dunfee farm was sold. It had been retained by the Dunfee family since its original purchase. It had been adjacent to the farm of Isaac Dillon and Jane Rapp Dillon, on which their son, JWS Dillon, lived nearly until his death. The Dunfee family had cared for JWS Dillon in his later years. This will surely be included in the next edition of my book, CONQUEST, on which I am currently working. Thank you so very much and best regards, Henry S.

I came across this in my file cabinet this evening. It was given to me a number of years ago by a granddaughter of J.W. I don't have the source of the paper but it was published in Goldfield, Nevada, Friday September, 25, 1931 J.W. was the son of Issac and Mary Dillon Dunfee. J.W. Dunfee dies suddenly Monday Goldfield was shocked Monday evening when news quickly flashed about town that J.W. Dunfee had died while being brought to this city. To a few acquaintances he had complained recently of not feeling well, but no one thought that he was seriously ill and his sudden death created a profound impression with his scores of friends. Mr. Dunfee ate his breakfast Monday morning but said he was not feeling well and would go over to his house and lay down. A stranger, later in the morning, looking for work went to see him and found him unconscious on the floor. He revived him and helped him to bed and then summoned friends. The sick man seemed to be feeling better but later on passed to unconsciousness and Dr. J.C. Cherry was sent for. When the doctor arrived later the patient was still unconscious and he decided to remove him to Goldfield where he could have constant medical attention and nursing. Placed in the car with Oscar Oram driving and Dr. Cherry with the sick man the three reached Cuprite, about half way, where Dunfee passed away. The cause of death was given as apoplexy. Deceased was born in Lawrence county, Ohio near Ironton, November 22, 1875, and would have been 56 years old this coming November. He lived for a number of years in Missouri and went to Cripple Creek when a young man and at one time had charge of the water company at Altman, near Cripple Creek. He came to Goldfield in '06 or '07 and worked and leased in several mines here. About 1912 he went to Hornsilver where he met with a great deal of success and where he had mined every since. On August 11, 1923 he was married to Miss Irma Haskell, who had been teaching school in Goldfield, and the couple had completed a fine home at Beverly Hills. The Dunfees have a little girl, Nevada, to whom he was greatly devoted. Mrs. Dunfee and Nevada were met at Mohave by Mark Mitchell, who brought them to Goldfield, arriving Tuesday morning. At Hornsilver, associated with L.W. Dye, Dunfee had acquired a large group of mining claims for the Ohio Mines Corporation and had been constantly developing the same for a number of years. He had great faith in the future of Hornsilver and helped raise large sums of money which he spent to the advantage of his associates and at the time of his death was opening up and blocking out large ore reserves in the Western claims of the company, and was also preparing to start work on the Tokop of the same company, ten miles distant. His friends claim had he lived another year he would have had Hornsilver on a profitable productions basis. L.W. Dye, who is in Ohio, wired that it would be impossible for him to be here in time for the funeral, which will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon from Elk's hall, of which order deceased was a member and interment, for the time being, will be in the Elk's plot in the local cemetery.
First of all I wish to apologize to the moderators of the lists that will be getting this e-mail. It does concern genealogy in a way. Please dont e-mail me telling me that the e-mail is off topic, I will not send any e-mails after this one. Also please remove Michelles e-mail address from your lists. All that said, I am Michelle Daileys Husband, Joe Munyan. I and our children wish to let all her friends know that she passed away September 16th at 11:35 pm. We would also like to give all of her research to someone local to Columbus Ohio. Someone that will continue the work that she started. This person will get copies of all electronic files as well as all hard copy files and the programs she used. This will involve a trip to our home here in Columbus Ohio. I will monitor her e-mail account for about one month. After that time I will be giving the person that gets her files access to her e-mail account. I am including some links to her obituary and some news stories. If you want more information, send an e-mail to her e-mail address with your phone number and we will call you back. Michelle, the kids and I love you VERRY much.

Carl, You mention the Gardner orchard. Do you know who was running the Gardner orchard at that time? Was it Roswell? It could have been one of his descendants too.

I have been in the house.........Sorry I meant U.T. Cox...
By the way the farm was on the edge of Windsor/Union Twp. I would guess probably part of it was in Union Twp.
Quaker Bottom(area settled by early Quakers) was in the vicinity of present day Proctorville. It would have been in Union Twp. I am guessing even thought Nelson's farm was in Windsor Twp his mailing address was Quaker Bottom. I grew up not far from the farm and we had a Chesapeake address. I have been in the Nelson Cox/Judge Ater house. It is a fine old house!
Thanks, Carl, for clearing up the mystery. Yes, the farm was on the southern edge of Windsor Township and across the border into Union Township as well. Thanks for your insight. When speaking of the area where Nelson's farm was, I have heard reference to the communities of Getaway and also to Bradrick (I think). I don't think that it was specifically in one or the other, but you might know better than I. - Jean -----Original Message----- From: carl murdock [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 6:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] Nelson Cox's Fruit Stand Quaker Bottom(area settled by early Quakers) was in the vicinity of present day Proctorville.

According to "Ohio Towns and Townships to 1900: A Location Guide" by Julie Overton (Ohio Genealogical Society, 2000), Quaker Bottom was in Union Township and was a "post office set up by 1850 near Proctorville."

Jean, thanks. Yes, the parents of my Nelson Cox was John Campbell Cox(1802-1860) and Nancy Dillon Cox(1807-1879). Nancy was the sister of my direct line gggrandfather, Vincent Dillon.

Hi Henry, Yes, it does seem strange that there were two Nelson Coxes so close together. My Nelson Cox was the son of William and Sarah (White) Cox. Nelson was born at Cox's Landing, Cabell County, West Virginia. Nelson was born in 1828, and died in Lawrence County, Ohio in November 1902. He married Lydia Catharine "Kate" (Gardner) Cox. After they married in 1852, they lived in Cabell County until 1854. They moved onto Greasy Ridge and lived there for the rest of their days. The farm where they lived was ultimately named "Ensee Farm." The name originated from the initials of Nelson Cox (N.C.). He lived very near to Pomaria Baptist Church (which he helped start). His sons later lived on land from his farm. Judge Ater (now dead) and his wife live in the one house formerly owned by Nelson and Kate Cox's son, U. T. Cox. I believe that Mrs. Ater still lives there in this fine house. There is a more complete biography on Nelson Cox in the 2003 History Book for Lawrence County. I just believe that Nelson and Kate lived all of their married lives in Lawrence County, and were not ever in any other county (besides in Cabell County from 1852 through 1854). I wish that I could tie them together for you. Do you know the parents of your 1848 - 1926 Nelson Cox? - Jean -----Original Message----- From: HenrySDillon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 4:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] Nelson Cox's Fruit Stand Jean, I know we've had this discussion before, but it's still hard to believe there would be two Nelson Coxes living so close together, at about the same time, yet unrelated.
