Welcome to this Dillon family archive blog!

This blog was created to house the photos, artifacts and family history that began with Timothy Dillon coming to America from Ireland in the 1840's. He came from Parsonstown, Kings County, which is now known as Birr, Offaly County. The main lineage of this blog is that of his grandson, Frank Reginald Dillon, Sr. of New Rochelle, NY, and the descendents of Frank and Anna Augusta Marie Kamph Dillon. It is an electronic album for those descendents to enjoy.

Grocery Bill from 1903


This is a grocery bill from 1903 on the account of Timothy Dillon. Typically, he stopped in often, as there were limited preservative for food in those days. He certainly was a smoker as he often stopped in for tobacco. He would have been approximately 92 at the time. I would suppose that the account was in the name of the male head of household but that his daughters or son were the ones purchasing items. It was an interesting bit of trivia to find all folded up in old photos.
