Death: Cause of death TB.:
His middle initial may be M. The census 1870 record show John A. middle initial
as M. was boy in WI in 1870 U.S. Census. Married in spring of 1949 in Troy, NY and got to WI before the 1st snow!
Katherine Dillon Nolan's birth in 1870 was WI but in 1880 was NY. Bat's birth in 1870 census was WI but other place it may be MI or WI.
In 1851 John Dillon is listed as one of the build of the Meeme Church - St. Isodore!

Not listed in 1870 Census with rest of family. Why did step father wait until 7 years after death or Nov 1866 to take control of John Dillon estate? Why is there nothing in probate about illiterate step father take over? Only thing in probate record is of Bat Dillon regaining control of estate after the death of Mary Jones DILLON in 1885.

Fr. Dan says he saw abstract deed of WI farm which Dillon's bought in 1849.
Sold around 1885. Son Tim go back and buy 4 acres of farm in 1889.

Date of death from a hand written note from Ruby Nolan Busker based on info from Fr. Dan. She said that she wrote it down immediately after Fr. Dan said it prior to WWII. I have photo copy.
