Hi, Rob. I was informed that Margaret was the daughter of James T. Dillman. I looked on Rootsweb and found Margaret J. Dillman with her folks listed. One of those files goes back to my 7th gGrandfather, Hans Georg Dillmann Sr., born 1682 (they have him listed as born abt. 1700 and included the incorrect possible spelling of Diehlman or something similar). I hope that helps.

It does show Margaret with the middle initial "E" and the father is listed as born in PA. The father of Margaret in the Rootsweb (James T. Dillman) is shown as born in KY. Different middle initial and different birth location for the father. Same birth year. The mother in Rootsweb born in OH, in the census mother is born in Illinois.
The 1900 census of Margaret "I" or "J" agrees with the birth locations of the father and mother to Rootsweb. Both have a child of Joseph.
I am after the Edna A. Raley line of the 1880 census. I am thinking we have two different Margarets here?
Maybe the Margaret J. is not my Margaret?
