regarding posting it to Guernsey Co.'s list and received her permission

directly at if you are interested in this family -- Patti

>>"I printed several newspaper articles out from the Port Byron Globe
newspaper. I was reading other info that was on the same pages as my info.
There is an obit for a
Joshua DILLON b 5 Oct 1829 Gurnsey Co, OH, married to Mary Jane DILLON 3
Sept 1852. Her maiden name was also DILLON. Joshua died in Rock Island
Co, IL in 1910. The date on the paper was 17 Feb 1910."
