Hi, I typed in all your information on your form on ancestry.com and found a lot of information, most of it you already know. I could not find his mother. But, it said his father's name was William Dilman. He was born in 1760. It did not have a death year. It said Nicholas moved to Whitchurch,Ontario, Canada when he was 28. I hoped I helped!

Name You Are Researching Elias Diehlman "Dillman"

Thanks, Alex.

I am quite confident that the reference to William Dilman is mere speculation based on an erroneous interpretation of the facts. I have found no documented connection between William and Nicholas.

Got to keep looking!

Ian

you should see if there is anything on ancestry.com. Hope i helped!
