We can’t fully account for Daniel’s whereabouts between 1805 and 1839. This is frustrating because during this period, he may have been married and he clearly came into some wealth. Whether the wealth was inherited or from the fruits of his own labor we don’t really know.
The Curious Case of Daniel Dill – Part 1
Daniel Dill was the older brother of my 4x-great-grandfather Peter Dill (1807-1888). Until last week, he was just another name on my family tree. Digging deeper, I found a story that’s just begging to be told. And Peter plays a part.
The ancestry of Peter Dill
Peter Dill is my 4x-great-grandfather. He was the father of Harriet Dill, who married Zeno Bass. According to family lore (from Lola Timmons; his great-granddaughter, my great-grandmother), he was born in 1807 in Ohio. His father and grandfather were also named Peter Dill.
