Do any of you DILTS researchers have a George in your database? Before
previous postings to this list, I tentatively had George as a son of Henry
and Anna. Are there other possibilities?

My DILTS ancestry--all in Hunterdon Co.

Samuel Wilson DILTS (1809-1874) m Ethalinda HOLCOMBE (1816-1889) (dau of
George HOLCOMBE and Catherine BUTTERFOSS).

His father was George DILTS (31 Oct 1768-21 Oct 1853) and Mary KUHL (1 Feb
1771-9 Sep 1858). George's father was also a George (no dates) who possibly
married an Eleanor WILSON (WILLSON).


"George Dilts, father of S. W. Dilts, was the son of an older George Dilts,
a German, who setld upon a very large tract, lying on both sides of the
Neshanic River, extending from the Pittstown road westward, so as to include
the tracts now ownd by Jediah H. Quick, David Higgins, C. V. D. Holcomb,
William Higgins, and a part of the tract now ownd by J. B. Higgins,--the
original Dilts mansion being the old house (a part of which is yet
standing), on the tract occupied by C. V. D. Holcomb."
