(77) How Dillinghams Named Their Sons
16 Jul 1994 Prepared by Edward Dillingham The naming practices of the Dillingham family made a dramatic change in the fifth generation in this country. This may have been typical in New England. In the first five generations there were 40 males, including the two immigrant men and their three sons. Of these 40, there were 12 Johns and 8 Edwards; no more than three of any other name. In the first four generations 13 Dillingham men had male issue; only one of these 13 failed to name a son either John or Edward - and maybe he would have, but he had only one son. In the sixth generation there were 41 males, of whom three were named John and two Edward. No fifth generation father used both names. Biblical names had completely swamped family names. This change started earlier. In the fourth generation we had Jeremiah, Melatiah and Simeon; in the fifth generation Elisha, Jeremiah, Lemuel, Joshua and Simeon. But the sixth generation has Jeptha, Joseph, Jeremiah, Isaac, Lemuel, Joshua, Josiah and several others. Does such a change appear in other families? 1-- John Dillingham-117 2-- Edward Dillingham-190 1-- Edward DILLINGHAM-111 (1595-1667) 2-- Henry DILLINGHAM-113 (1627-1705) 3-- John DILLINGHAM-354 (1656-1733) 4-- John DILLINGHAM-719 (1695-1769) 5-- Elisha DILLINGHAM-711 6-- Jeptha DILLINGHAM-1442 (1741-1790) 5-- John DILLINGHAM-725 ( -1769) 6-- Joseph DILLINGHAM-737 (1765-1850) 5-- Henry DILLINGHAM-728 (1735-1797) 6-- Henry DILLINGHAM-1031 (1766) 5-- Jeremiah DILLINGHAM-729 (1736-1821) 6-- John DILLINGHAM-1028 (1762-1853) 6-- Jeremiah DILLINGHAM-1147 (1764-1820) 6-- Isaac DILLINGHAM-1148 ( -1815) 4-- Jeremiah DILLINGHAM-1501 (1696-1752) 4-- Melatiah DILLINGHAM Hon-357 (1700-1786) 5-- Lemuel DILLINGHAM-489 (1725) 6-- Lemuel DILLINGHAM Jr-1048 (1757-1845) 6-- Joshua DILLINGHAM-491 (1758-1820) 6-- Josiah DILLINGHAM-779 (1767-1819) 5-- Edward DILLINGHAM-1480 (1730) 6-- Samuel DILLINGHAM-1482 (1751) 6-- Malatia DILLINGHAM-1484 (1762) 6-- William DILLINGHAM-104 (1770-1832) 5-- Thomas DILLINGHAM-1410 (1741) 5-- Joshua DILLINGHAM-494 (1743) 6-- Stephen DILLINGHAM-496 (1774) 6-- Otis DILLINGHAM-500 (1777) 6-- Joshua DILLINGHAM-502 (1782) 5-- William DILLINGHAM-1412 (1747) 4-- Edward DILLINGHAM-1310 ( -1783) 5-- Benjamin DILLINGHAM-1312 3-- Edward DILLINGHAM-115 (1665-1739) 4-- Simeon DILLINGHAM-119 (1700-1773) 5-- Nathan DILLINGHAM-170 (1730-1755) 5-- John DILLINGHAM-122 (1736-1825) 6-- Nathan DILLINGHAM-180 (1759) 6-- Simeon DILLINGHAM-181 (1763) 6-- Branch DILLINGHAM-182 (1765-1813) 6-- John DILLINGHAM-184 (1770) 6-- Henry DILLINGHAM-186 (1775) 5-- Simeon DILLINGHAM Jr-173 (1741) 4-- Edward DILLINGHAM-166 (1704) 5-- Cornelius DILLINGHAM-848 (1724) 6-- Edward DILLINGHAM-1528 (1750-1850) 5-- Sylvanus DILLINGHAM-849 (1725) 5-- Stephen DILLINGHAM-851 (1727) 5-- Ignatius DILLINGHAM-359 (1732-1816) 6-- Stephen DILLINGHAM-745 6-- Edward DILLINGHAM-366 ( -1857) 6-- Joseph DILLINGHAM-361 (1776-1845) 6-- William DILLINGHAM-747 (1782-1832) 6-- William DILLINGHAM-1211 (1832-1853) 5-- John DILLINGHAM-852 (1738) 6-- Joseph DILLINGHAM-1298 (1765) 4-- John DILLINGHAM-120 (1710) 5-- Samuel DILLINGHAM-420 (1738) 5-- Edward DILLINGHAM-556 (1743-1828) 6-- Thomas DILLINGHAM-704 (1773) 6-- Zenas DILLINGHAM-706 (1774-1853) 6-- Asa DILLINGHAM-707 (1774) 6-- Lemuel DILLINGHAM-708 (1782) 6-- Jonathan DILLINGHAM-898 (1789) 5-- John DILLINGHAM-557 (1744) 6-- Zerriah DILLINGHAM-561 (1775) 6-- Achsah DILLINGHAM-562 (1777) 6-- Crocker DILLINGHAM-563 (1780) 6-- James DILLINGHAM-564 (1782) 6-- Ebenezer DILLINGHAM-566 (1786) 6-- Ezra DILLINGHAM-567 (1789) 2-- John DILLINGHAM-114 (1630-1715) 3-- John DILLINGHAM Jr-305 (1663-1746) 4-- John DILLINGHAM 3rd-310 (1701-1763) 5-- John DILLINGHAM Hon-319 (1753-1819) 6-- John DILLINGHAM 5th-321 (1774-1825) 6-- Isaac DILLINGHAM-324 (1776-1807) 6-- Freeman DILLINGHAM-322 (1797) 4-- Isaac DILLINGHAM-885 (1711) 4-- Edward DILLINGHAM-536 (1715-1715) He has reference number 77. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward is being presented here as the father of John Dillingham (late of Porter County, Indiana) despite evidence to the contrary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE READ THIS!! There is presently no firm evidence that John Dillingham was legally named John Earl Dillingham, Jr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The parentage of John Dillingham is in question. He is presented here as the son of Edward only because this has been accepted by the local Dillingham family; however, no verifying sources are given and the logic of the circumstances within the Edward Dillingham family do not appear to support John as his son. Apparently, Edward lived his entire life in Rhode Island while John claimed to be from Massachusetts and is known to have spent his later youth in Connecticutt. In addition, Edward may not have been married yet by the year of John's birth. The matter is being studied extensively and when the matter is proven one way or another it will be published here with supporting documentation. Tim Cole, 5 December, 1998. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An incident in his life in 1788 in at sea.(78) From "The Republic" a weekly newspaper in Valparaiso, Indiana Thursday, Oct 3, 1861 Decease of John Dillingham AN INCIDENT IN HIS LIFE Mr. Editor, -- Hearing of the recent death of old Mr. Dillingham, the oldest man of the county, and one of the earliest settlers, calls to mind an incident of his long and eventful life, which he related to me some twenty years ago, and which, two or three years ago I got him to repeat to me and I committed it to paper, thinking it would be interesting to the readers of The Republic in connection with his Obituary Notice, which his great age gave reason to expect in a few months or years. These were his words: "About the year 1788, and when I was about 16 years old, I was a sailor on board a merchant ship, on a voyage from Boston to Portugal, for a cargo of wine. On our homeward bound passage, we had provided for only a twenty day's passage, and the storm was such that we were kept nearly forty days at sea; during the latter part of which time we were on very short allowance, and actually reduced to such an extremity as to seriously contemplate the necessity of casting lots which of our number should first be sacrificed for food to sustain the rest." He resided Manchester, Connecticutt about 1793 in Manchester, Connecticutt. He resided Windsor, Ohio after 1796 in Windsor, Connecticut. He was Pages from Family Bible after 1828 in Porter Co., IN.(79) This is a copy of the Family Record from the Dillingham Family Bible. It is in the possession of Mr. Zane Phares of Valparaiso, Indiana. He is a direct descendant of John Dillingham, as am I. The Bible was given to him for safe keeping because no member of the Dillingham family showed responsible interest at the time. He intends to pass it along to the local genealogy library in the public library in Valparaiso. I've encouraged him to do so, although his intention may change. Inside the front cover there is a notation in old 19th century script: "Sold by Jas. A. Rinkus [sp] No. 19 Peck Slip New York price $2.50s." The published date is 1827. Most of the entries are in the same handwriting, which is very neat and clearly legible until entries after the late 1850's, when someone else makes the entries, or the health and vigor on the original entrant becomes clearly diminished. I've made every effort to preserve the original spelling, grammar, and punctuation and made notations when it was not clear in the writing. - J.T.

Epitaph: "Dearest father thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God who has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal." Genealogical work from Marvin Phares after 1950 in Valparaiso, IN.(80) Edward Dillingham is reported by Winthrop Alexander as a son of Melatiah Dillingham (R357 in these notes). Dudley makes no mention of this Edward. He might be a son of Mary Curtis, Melatiah's first wife; she married in October 1723 and died in 1727; she had Lemuel in that time; she might also have had Edward, possibly dying at the birth of one of them. An alternative is that Edward might be an unrecorded son of Phebe Hatch, Melatiah's second wife. She married him 18 Feb 1730 and died 31 Jan 1731; certainly this could be a childbirth death. Edward certainly did not spring from Melatiah's third wife, Meriah Gilford. She married in 1734 and had recorded children in 1735, 1737, 1739, 1741, 1745, 1747, 1749 and 1757. The first vacant slot there is far too late for Edward, who was himself breeding by 1751. Therefore I place his birth between 1727 and 1731; clearly he was not born between those years but rather in one or the other. I found the following on 30 June 1994 in a note by Dudley that I had previously overlooked. Church Records of Hanover, Mass (19d) "Feb 18,1730/31 Melatiah Dillingham and Phebe Hatch, both of Hanover, married", and "Born Dec 29,1730-31, Son of Melatiah and Phebe Dillingham." The lack of a Christian name suggests that the child died, especially given that his mother died a month later, and Melatiah didn't marry again until 1734. The date of birth, however, supports the idea that this was the missing Edward Dillingham. Other entries in the same record (see below) also lack Christian names. Edward is identified by Winthrop Alexander as the father of several Dillinghams, and (per Alexander) "circumstantial evidence places William in this family." This refers to William of Freeport, R104 in these notes, father of William and John Griffin, grandfather ofJohn Griffin. What are the circumstances? Melatiah and Edward were blacksmiths; William and William Jr were blacksmiths. The dates are reasonable. William son of Ignatius has a different wife, and children; William son of John son of Simeon went to Granville, New York. William son of Malatiah is too old. There is no indication in Alexander that Edward removed to Maine, but the Pilgrim Edward Doty Society states that "Edward and Melatiah, his father, were shipbuilders in Hanover, Mass., and in 1783, as members of the Friends Society, removed to Falmouth, Maine, then to Freeport."

His wife was Maria or Meliah in 1759 in Hanover. He was a blacksmith and Quaker. His father was John son of Edward and Abigail, a cordwainer." From Edward Dillingham: Dudley has this wrong: John son of Edward Dillingham and Abigail Nye was born in 1710, being their seventh child. Melatiah's father was John, Edward's brother, not his son. Edward (b.1665) and John were sons of Henry Dillingham and Hannah Perry. John married Sarah Bourne (b.1681). She had a younger brother named Melatiah, born in 1694. We have no other record of young Bourne, but possibly his sister copied the name. [Dudley again] Melatiah is also the father of Lemuel, with his first wife Mary Curtis. He may also be Maltiah, father of Joshua. [With his third wife he had: Lydia, Hannah, Content, Thomas, Joshua, Meribah, William, Anne, Phebe.] From Dean Dudley's manuscript From Friends Records, Pembroke, Massachusetts Joshua Dillingham son of Maltiah of Hanover married Esther Rogers (page 32) Meltiah Dillingham deceased 25th of 1st month 1786 in the 86 year of his age (page 33 in Dudley ms) Meliah Dillingham is a different person; he died 21st of 12th month 1784 in the 75th year of his age.

Dillinghams come to Porter County, by The Stroller Schuyler Tanner walked miles and miles up and down the cuts made by the gigantic steam shovels and grading machines when Ridge Road was being converted into a national highway -- just to be sure the combined Dillingham memory was right. They all said Grandma Hannah had told them her husband, John, had been buried far north of the old trail. But Tanner wanted to be sure those machines didn't disturb the old settler, or, if they did, that his weary old bones would be given a better resting place with the other departed Dillinghams. Tanner used to tell interesting tales of the first Dillinghams. He said John, Hannah and Olcott came from Huron, Ohio, in October 1837. Back in Ohio they had been sort of lake dwellers, living close to Lake Huron. So they, in coming west, naturally came by boat. They came on a little sailing vessel called "The Little Westerner," which was equipped with an auxilliary steam engine. Before they arrived, however, they began to wish that they had tried the overland route, according to the tale. Storms beset them almost from the first. The trip occupied 29 miserable days. The Little Westerner was only a 60-ton ship and was overloaded. Seek Fabulous Farms The ship was filled with "lookers" -- men who, for the most part, wanted to get out into the woods after they got into Lake Michigan, to look for one of those fabulous farms for themselves, at $1.50 an acre. The there were some who excitedly talked about copper from the Keweenaw Peninsula. The ship was stacked to capacity with more than 100 passengers and their gear. There were plows, wagon bodies, pots, children and bedding all piled high on deck. Wagon wheels were lashed to the masts. Now that the Indians were supposed to be cleared from the country, the great land boom was at its height. And the headquarters was at the little fort on the Chicago River, where it was said, more than 20, 000 people came each season. Their engine-equipped sailing vessel was rough and everyone was seasick -- all but Olcott, who was enjoying the excitement. As they came down the Michigan shore a heavy fog set in. Then soon heavy rains came. Pelted by Sleet At Muskegon there was some talk of unloading and pushing back before the lake froze over. Ice was already forming in the lake, but the captain had a big cod shipment for Michigan City. When they came into sight of St. Joseph the storm turned into a whipping sleet storm. Just before they reached Michigan City another whirling, icy storm whistled in from Chicago and struck the taut canvas with devastating fury. They were navigating close to the shore, when a warm air mass from somewhere collided with the cold mass just over their heads -- and then came the bad news. The ship would discharge its entire cargo at Michigan City. Chicago was out of the question. "But," said the captain, "it's only a little ways to Chicago." It took 10 days to get straightened out and to get the outfit together. By dark, on the evening of Nov. 2, 1837, they arrived in what is now Porter County. Camp at Coffee Creek John Dillingham said, "We camped at a place called Thomas Mill or Big Sandy Creek or, as it was then being laughingly called, 'Coffee Creek.' There was a very nice gentleman there named Morgan, and he made us feel at home. The next day we, at his suggestion, went out to look at the land thereabouts -- and did not go on to southern Illinois as we had intended." And Hannah added, "Pa and Olcott thought this country was good enough, so we stayed." John was buried in a canoe for a coffin. It made a right nice casket, with flowers and evergreens placed on top. He was put in the ground on his own land by the clump of trees at the bend of the creek. 1.) John Dillingham's first daughter by his second wife Hannah had married Edward Cole back in Huron COUNTY, Ohio, not Huron, Ohio, where they lived by the shores of Lake ERIE, not Huron, if you call 20 - 30 miles away "by the shores." It was Edward Cole who wanted to move west with his young family, Sally and his two boys, David and John, 3 years old and 3 months old. Dillingham brought almost his entire second family with him -- 8 children from 21 to 5 years old. Olcott, the second youngest, was around 8 or 9 and was probably not being consulted about family decisions yet. And of course, this was a year earlier, almost two years earlier, than the above record claims and was obtained from recorded deeds and other records. In fact, the intention was to move to this area of Porter County in the first place; Edward Cole had scouted the territory for the previous two years looking for suitable and affordable land for both families. 2.) The idea that they took a boat from Lake Erie, through Lake Huron, and down the shores of Lake Michigan to go to Chicago is the most preposterous story I've ever heard of. The White River canal had been opened from their area of Ohio and went well into Indiana to the head streams of the Wabash River. If anything, they took a canal barge as far as they could and then went overland, possibly up through Michigan City, which was established at that time, although a clear and protected trail went through to present day Westville, Indiana, through the area now called LaPorte, or present day Door Prairie. It would be silly to go ten miles out of the way when a good path (an established buffalo and Indian trail existed. And it's possible that they ventured into present day Chesterton and stayed with Jesse Morgan. But probably only to be neighborly. 3.) I can't imagine what the ravings are about U.S. Highway 6 (Ridge Road). The Dillingham cemetery is about half a mile SOUTH of this road, which was put through in the first quarter of the 20th century. And John most likely was not buried in a canoe, nor by a "bend in the stream." His grave site is clearly visible on what was thought to be the highest point in Porter County, a long, long way from any moving water. Edward Cole was buried on what was thought to be the second highest point in Porter County, about 3/4ths of a mile north of John. If anything, Tanner's tale sounds more like the story of Joseph Bailly, and the lake storm that almost swamped their boat sounds suspiciously close to that of an actual steamship wreck that happened far later and without the benefit of John Dillingham's presence. I want to think that Schuyler Tanner got his tales mixed up while imbibing some of John's famous home-made whiskey. -- Tim Cole 1997 Parents: Edward DILLINGHAM and Hannah (Sukey) AMBROSE.
