I am not related to the Dill family, but have some information from St. Stephen (Longsdorf) Lutheran Church, New Kingstown, Cumberland Co. PA, from my search for 6th great grandparents Michael Hawk and Henry Longsdorf, who were, with your Michael Dill, founders of St. Stephen's. From "Longsdorf-St. Stephen Luthern Church History" by Dr. Charles Glatfelter Nov. 17, 1985 "Michael Dill was an elder in this church in 1771 and in 1762 lived in Carlisle." Source Cumberland Co tax records. Referring to the parcel from whence came the donation of the two acres given to found the St. Stephen Church "In 1769...William Bell sells a parcel to Michael Dill." From County deeds, "In 1772, Michael Dill and John Reinick helped widow Wittmer (Mrs. Christoffel Wittmer)to acquire this very large property." Also in the baptisms in Carlisle for Rev John Conrad Bucher Several Dill baptisms: Born Jan 5, 1766 Bapt Jan 25, 1766 Susannah, daughter of Michael Dill and Maria Elisabeth. Witnesses: Mary Elisabeth Schneyder. Born Jan 29, 1767 Bapt May 24, 1767 Johan Michael, son of Michael Dill and Maria Elisabeth. Witnesses: Jacob Carl, and Christina. Michael Dill and Maria Elisabeth were witnesses to the baptism of Elisabeth dau of J. Christian Sensenbach and wife Mary Margaretha, Elisabeth was born Aug 22, 1766 bapt. Aug 31, 1766. That's all I have-you may want to check online for Zeamer's readings of Longsdorf Cemetery, which still exists on the original two acres of property given to the church or contact St. Stephens Lutheran Church, Box 266 New Kingston PA 17078. They sent me the photocopies that I quoted from above, but my request did not include the Dill family. Hope this helps.
