Mathew Dill Genealogy Mathew Dill Genealogy Mathew Dill Genealogy A Study of the Dill Family of Dillsburg, York County, Pennsylvania 1698-1934 By I ROSALIE JONES DILL, A.M., LL.M., D.C.L. Member New York and Washington Bar Member of Society of Col cnial Governors and Order of Armorial Beariog-1. Author of "The Amcricao Standard of Liviag" SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 1934 Copyright Sovcmber, 1934 by Rosalie Jone ■ Dill To Amanda Kunkel Dill with affection and esteem _PREFACE In the collection of data concerning the Mathew Dill family of York County, Pennsylvania, and especially of the descendants of the eldest son, grateful thanks is accorded many members of the family. In some instances they have supplied a few names and a short lineage while. in other cases they have given material practically unobtainable elsewhere. For a number of years, the late Rose Lee Dill, devoted her time to the Dill family history especially to the Colonel Matthew line. She was an invalid and her voluminous correspondence, her only link with the outside world, helped to lighten her days of pain. Her material, in manuscript form, has been of great value in connecting various lines with the James Dill chain, the subject matter of Part I. Among those who have been delving into the labyrinth of the Dill connections has been Dr. Alva D. Kenamond whose manuscript has been thankfully used and Mrs. Zula Dill Neely whose interest in the Dill's is unflag­ ging. Her background and perspective along the trail of the Dill's is unequalled. Several years ago, Reverend Calvin Dill Wilson, Mabel Dill Brown, Kathryn Lee Evans and myself met in conference in Ohio and decided that the scattered information concerning the Dill's might well be as­ sembled and shaped up in some book form. To this end, they immedi­ ately pressed into service many members of the family with the result that much new material has been classified and new lines connected. To George Dill is much credit due for connecting the mid western Dill branches of the family. Arthur Scott Kent came into the picture after this work had got under way but he "has stayed with it" and will, I am certain, remain with us until the last link has been forged. However in­ terested all members have been in this booklet, there is no one more ready "to add another slug" than Mabel Dill Brown. Besides this inner circle of assistants a word of appreciation is given to the followini friends of Part I : Black, Rookh ( Mrs.) Dill, Harry V. Black, William Wesley Dill, J. H. ( Mrs.) Cooper, Abbie Dill, John T. Cox, John ( Mrs.) Dill, Maggie Crowe, Ethel Dill, Nancy Seymour Dill, Alfred McG.

Stanforth, Edna Harris, Mary Etta White, Mary Adeline May, Frank Maxwell \Vilson, Gertrude Kent Mustin, Nellie Zecht, Adam The compiler of this record has always respected family tradition, but she has tried, in addition, to work with records based on official documents. In all cases, tradition has been accepted for its "leads" yet it has not always been taken as absolute facts unless accompanied by well authenticated proof. And so, too, with the family bible, often dubbed the "cornerstone of geneological research." State documents, county records, wills, deeds and court papers have been searched. Census returns at Washington, D. C., and pension files have turned up valuable information. Church registers and tombstones have been noted and, where possible, have been re-inforced by additional proof. County histories have been extensively scanned for data although they have not been relied upon exclusively without other corrobora­ tion. It is seldom that one can exhaust sources of research. New ma­ terial is constantly being discovered which necessitates the discarding of previously obtained data. With these thoughts in mind and realizing the surface of the Mathew Dill family history only has been scratched this booklet is offered. It is hoped it may be of interest and of some service to the members of the Captain Mathew Dill family in America. (Mrs. Clarence C. Dill) Rosalie Jones Dill Spokane, Washington. September, 1934.

Mathew Dill, head of the Pennsylvania Dill family in Ameri­ ca concerning which this narrative deals, was born in 16')8, presum­ ably in Monaghan, Ulster Plantation, Ireland, of Scotch parentage. He died at "Dills" in Monaghan Settlement (now Dillsburg), York County, Pennsylvania, on October 13, 1750. · The Scotch and English people who had settled in Ireland and had taken up Irish estates, confiscated by Queen Elizabeth and James I., were known as "Ulsterites" by their contemporaries. The coming of these Ulstermen to America began about 1700 and continued with unabated vigor, during the following fifty years. On land west of the Susquehanna, bought from the "Five Nations" by the Indian treaty of 1776, these newcomers pushed in great numbers. In particu,lar, the • Will Matt: Dill, Bk A. p. 16. Case 1749. York, Pa. Orph: Ct rec: ilk. A, pps, 42', 85, gz, York, Pa: ix X MATHEW DILL GENEALOGY entire territory north of York, soon became known as "The Monaghan Settlement." It was during the heavy migration of these Scotch-Irish, as they were dubbed in the New World, that Mathew Dill, the first settler of his family in America, undertook the venturesome voyage across the Atlantic. There is a family tradition Mathew Dill first settled in one of the Hundreds around the present site of Wilmington, Delaware. Early records of that section show several families by the name of Dill, but do not establish any connection with "Captain Mathew." The first authentic record of Mathew Dill, so far discovered, is found in the original tax assessment lists of Fallowfield Township, Che1,ter County, Pennsylvania, in 1732. He is taxed two shillings and six pence while his neighbors Thomas Cox, Robert Lewis and John Wilson were assessed for other amounts. (Years 1729-1742, of Rolls, at Court House, West Chester, Pa., pps. 7, II, 23, 32, 38, 42.) Mathew Dill is taxed continuously in the same township until 1742, when his name fails to appear on the rolls. However, on April 23, 1735, there was surveyed to him some 150 acres of land, in the county. His name is found in Lancaster ( now York) county records, June 16, 1742, when Henry Wilson assigned to him his own warrant of land of 504 acres. It was this plantation on which Mathew Dill built his primitive home and at his death divided among his four sons. In addition to the assignment of the Wilson tract, Mathew Dill warranted 100 acres adjoining it to himself on the same day. Three years later, September 28, 1745, he made his last purchase of land. The location of these holdings has been successively known as "Dills," "Dillstown" and in 1833, was organized into the Borough of Dillsburg. ( Pa. Arch. 3 Ser. Vol. 24, .p. 70 and 394; Scull map 1759 and 1792; 1816 State Map of Pa.; Hist. York Co. by Geo. R. Prowell, Vol. I, p. 86o, pub. by J. H. Beers & Co., Chicago, Ill., 1907; Hist. York Co., by John Gibson, p. 652, pub. by F. A. Battey, Chicago, Ill., 1886.) A God fearing man and staunch Presbyterian, Captain Mathew Dill reared his family in the Calvinistic faith and to this day a number of his descendants bear the name of Calvin. He was an elder in the early Monaghan church which later became the Presbyterian church at Dillsburg. In a chapter devoted to the Monaghan and Presbyterian churches, reference is made to him by the Reverend Nevin. Among the first elders of the church-of whom any recollection exists, and whose descendants are still with us-were Lewis Williams, Mathew Dill * * * Captain Mathew Dill worshipped in the old log structure which stood a short distance southwest of the town near the old graveyard. This was replaced in 1782 by a stone ediface at, what is now the ~ge of the town. (See Churches of the Valley by Rev. Al­ fred ~evm at pages 272, 276, 277,, pub. by Joseph Wilson, Phila­ delphia, Pa., 1852.)

    The Combined Chiefs of Staff and the Public Health Building, 1942–1946 Christopher Holmes The United States Public Health Service Building, Washington, DC, ca. 1930. rom February 1942 until shortly after the end of World War II, the American Fand British Combined Chiefs of Staff operated from a structure at 1951 Constitution Avenue Northwest in Washington, DC, known as the Public Health Building. Several federal entities became embroiled in this effort to secure a suitable meeting location for the Combined Chiefs, including the Federal Reserve, the War Department, the Executive Office of the President, and the Public Health Service. The Federal Reserve, as an independent yet still federal agency, strove to balance its own requirements with those of the greater war effort. The War Department found priority with the president, who directed his staff to accommodate its needs. Meanwhile, the Public Health Service discovered that a solution to one of its problems ended up creating another in the form of a temporary eviction from its headquarters. Thus, how the Combined Chiefs settled into the Public Health Building is a story of wartime expediency and bureaucratic wrangling.

The British Army, Information Management and the First World War Revolution in Military Affairs ABSTRACT Information Management (IM) – the systematic ordering, processing and channelling of information within organisations – forms a critical component of modern military command and control systems. As a subject of scholarly enquiry, however, the history of military IM has been relatively poorly served. Employing new and under-utilised archival sources, this article takes the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) of the First World War as its case study and assesses the extent to which its IM system contributed to the emergence of the modern battlefield in 1918. It argues that the demands of fighting a modern war resulted in a general, but not universal, improvement in the BEF’s IM techniques, which in turn laid the groundwork, albeit in embryonic form, for the IM systems of modern armies.

  • 10, George C. Marshall
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #10 “George C. Marshall: Global Commander” Forrest C. Pogue, 1968 It is a privilege to be invited to give the tenth lecture in a series which has become widely-known among teachers and students of military history. I am, of course, delighted to talk with you about Gen. George C. Marshall with whose career I have spent most of my waking hours since1956. Douglas Freeman, biographer of two great Americans, liked to say that he had spent twenty years in the company of Gen. Lee. After devoting nearly twelve years to collecting the papers of General Marshall and to interviewing him and more than 300 of his contemporaries, I can fully appreciate his point. In fact, my wife complains that nearly any subject from food to favorite books reminds me of a story about General Marshall. If someone serves seafood, I am likely to recall that General Marshall was allergic to shrimp. When I saw here in the audience Jim Cate, professor at the University of Chicago and one of the authors of the official history of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, I recalled his fondness for the works of G.A. Henty and at once there came back to me that Marshall once said that his main knowledge of Hannibal came from Henty's The Young Carthaginian. If someone asks about the General and Winston Churchill, I am likely to say, "Did you know that they first met in London in 1919 when Marshall served as Churchill's aide one afternoon when the latter reviewed an American regiment in Hyde Park?" Thus, when I mentioned to a friend that I was coming to the Air Force Academy to speak about Marshall, he asked if there was much to say about the General's connection with the Air Force.

  • “We Have Improvised”: the Anglo-American Alliance and Axis
    “WE HAVE IMPROVISED”: THE ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE AND AXIS PRISONERS OF WAR IN WORLD WAR II by MARTHA MCNEILL SMART (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT This project assesses the dynamics of the Anglo-American relationship with regard to prisoner of war policies in Western Europe during the Second World War. Through an examination of government documents, particularly those of the Combined Chiefs of Staff, this study determines that American and British policies developed disparate trajectories as the war continued. Though Britain and the United States established a relationship of informality and generosity in the early stages of the war, public concern encouraged American policy-makers to embrace self-serving policies of prisoner detention, as Britain grew increasingly reliant upon American assistance. British attempts to motivate American aid through exhibitions of their harrowing experiences as a European state lost efficacy as the war continued. Ultimately, the culture of informality and integration established early in the war, contributed to the friction between the United States and the British Commonwealth in the late stages of the conflict.
