Hi Eileen,
Oh, yes, I would most definitely like any info about them. My grgrf was Benjamin Franklin Dillinger although I think he dropped the g and became Dilliner. He was married to Mary Eaton. They are both supposedly buried in McDaniel Cemetery around Jonesboro. My mother was best friends with a Rosie and Elmer Stevenson of Jonesboro and we used to go visit them every year when I was growing up. I only got to see them once after I was married as my husband was in the military and we moved alot. But seems like they knew some McDaniels also-I don't know if they were related to Uncle Elmer or not, but I think I remember them talking about someone named McDaniel. That's why the McDaniel Cemetery name seemed so familiar to me. The Stevensons lived on Rt. 7 I think it was across the RR tracks out in the country. Their son Larry and wife Sharon used to live down the dirt road from them and I think they live in town now. Larry and Sharon's children are Clark and Michelle, although I think both are married now also. Aunt Rosie as I used to call her, died I think in 1995, Uncle Elmer died a few years before. I'm ashamed to say I have not kept in touch with their family, but I hope to make contact with them again before long. Anyway, I've learned recently that Benjamin, who was the last son of Nicholas Dillinger and Keziah McIntosh had lived in Craighead Co sometime before their deaths, Mary in 1939, Benjamin in 1940. Since you plan to visit the cemetery soon, would you mind terribly trying to locate their gravemarkers if there are any and send pictures? I am willing to pay you to do so as I have no idea when I will ever be able to get back down there. Also, if you know of any history on Ben and Mary, please let me know. I appreciate it very much and thanks for getting back to me on this. God Bless, Carrie
