Kim Smith - re your inquiry of John Dill-we have the following data - from 1850 census, John Dill age 27, Maria age 23, Flora age 4, town of Auburn, Fond du Lac, County.From 1870 census - John Dill age 38, Marie age 32, Flora 16 and staying with them was Rachel Bestor age 72, town of Auburn. - Rachel Bestor was my grt, grt, grt, grandmother. Chauncey was her husband.Their daughter Mary Bestor, m. John Wesley Tuttle and she died in Auburn and is buried in theHake-Childs cemetery, south of Campellsport.There should be 7 more graves but we could not find when we looked, nor are there any records of the deaths of Dills or Bestor.You might check the 1875 WI cednsus and 1880 for the Dills in Fond du Llac County and the Ladysmith areas.It is also possible that the Bestor and the Dill families came together from New York, possibly Herkimer in Oneida County, NY.hope this helps.Patricia L.
