William Carrouthers Dillon Sr
I am looking for the lineage of William Carrouthers Dillon Sr.(b~1870,s). He came from Ireland to the US in the late 1800's. He is my great grandfather.
I know he moved around the US with his wife (do not have the name)and fathered six sons (Robert, William Jr, four others) with her. Each child was born in a different state.
I do know that they settled in Chicago for a little while and then they all moved out west to Southern California. When in Chicago, my grandfather, William Carrouthers Dillon Jr gave birth to my father Harvey Hershel Dillon (b.~1940).
The family started a company in Southern California (Dillon & Sons- I think)that produced and patented varying items for scales and other machinery.
I only knew of one great uncle, Robert, who lived in Mission Hills California. He was beginning a geneological tree some time back prior to his passing about a decade ago.
If anyone knows about this lineage, or is part of it, please e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks
