I am searching for any information on John Dillon, born 6 Apr 1835 in Ireland, died 26 Mar 1922 in Wakefield, MA. His parents are listed on his marriage record as John Dillon and Ellen Daly. He arrived in Boston about 1851.
According to letters, he is a relative (possibly cousin) of Richard Dillon (Dilleen), born 12 Dec 1853 in Shanballyeeshal, Galway. His parents were Richard Dillon (Dilleen) and Anna Carr. Richard arrived in Boston about 1870.
I do not know where in Ireland John was born, and am guessing that since the two are somehow related, that they may have come from the same area.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Colette Dillon Waldron
