In the 1880 census, there's a Matthew Dill, age 40, coffin maker, living in Richmond, Indiana. If this isn't your g-grandfather, there there was at least one other "Matthew Dill" living not too far away. Is it possible the person who married a woman from Kentucky and later was written up as planning to move to Kentucky is another Matthew Dill?

Also, do you know if your grandfather or great-grandfather were at any time church members? If so, there should be church records that can help you out.

Happy hunting!

Matthew was living in Cincinnati in 1870 in a boarding house owned by Anna Daniels. There was a domestic servant living there also by the name of Mary Jones, so it is possible this Mary is the one who married Matthew. Perhaps she had been previously married to a Mr. Jones. I know Matthew and Mary Dill settled in Crosby Township because Mary is buried in the New Haven Cemetery (no stone). She died in 1899. The last I know of Matthew is from the Venice Gazette newspaper dated in August 1899 that Matthew Dill had taken a new wife from Kentucky. The next month (September 22) in the Venice Gazette it said that Matthew Dill was thinking of selling his farm and moving to Kentucky. However, the Federal Census of 1900 shows Matthew still living on his farm in Crosby Township and his son, Geor!

> (my grandpa), was living with him. No mention of a wife for Matthew. By 1903 George Dill had moved to Hamilton, OH (Butler County) and married my grandmother, Barbara Kintzler from New Baltimore. They both resided in Hamilton until their deaths. But I cannot find Matthew!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions?
