Hi John, thank you for your reply to my query on William Ditty. All I can give you that is more exact is that my William Ditty was born 1 March 1801 in Londonderry, Ireland.
He purchased land in VT, I believe, in 1821.We have not found out anything as to date of leaving Ireland nor when, or if, he became a citizen.We are in the process of searching for both passenger lists and naturalzation records.
William married Emily Chaffee, of Williamstown, Vt and had children:John, William, Eric and Ralph(?).William died20th March 1870 in Orange Co.,VT
I descend from son William.
I hope to connect with the Ditty family in Meghary, Magherfelt - since he was from Londonderry, it seems possible.
