Dilley died there about the same time, and Alford and Jake Dilley died there about 1892.

may have been Quakers who came to Pennsylvania with Wm. Penn's colony, or may Have been descendants
of the Huguenots who fled from France about 1685 to England, Holland, or Germany, and thence to America.
Martin claimed to be of German descent. These brothers were Protestants deeply religious, God-fearing men
and taught their descendants that the name Dilley stands for honesty and the power to stand up for what they
believe to be right.
