In the Dillion Family – When “Sherm” Dillon prepared this narrative, he interviewed family members in Ohio and West Virginia, including my grandfather, Vincent F. Dillon, of South Point. In addition to whatever direct research, he may have done, he relied on family tales, stories, and memories which were not all verified. In this narrative “Sherm” Dillon references Thomas Dillon as the first of our line to come to America. After the distribution of this narrative in 1932, “Sherm” Dillon in association with at least one other family researcher, concluded that the Thomas Dillon, here referenced as our original ancestor and quite possibly found only in family interviews, and a Peter Dillin, discovered through research, were one and the same.
