THE DILLON FAMILY
The Dillon family was an Irish Quaker family. Luke Dillon married in Ireland and came to America. Several of Luke Dillon's grandchildren married Haworth's, so these two lines are quite enmeshed for several generations.
LUKE DILLON
Luke Dillon was born about 1687 in Armagh Coun ty of Northern Ireland. He was a Quaker by faith.
About 1710, he eloped and married Susannah Garrett. Susannah was born in Armagh and came from a wealthy family. Luke's family was quite poor. They eloped and immigrated to America. They went to the Quaker Colony on Nantucket Island off the Massachusetts coast. They probably arrived in the Port of Boston and then sailed to Nantucket.
Luke and Susannah remained on Nantucket until about 1714 when they moved to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their first two children were born on Nantucket and their last two were born in Bucks County.
A descendant, Alfred Dillon, tells the story that Luke was a drunk. In the winter of 1717, he spent an evening at the local tavern, got drunk and rode home in a driving snowstorm. On the way he fell down from his horse and rolled into a ditch. His body was not discovered until a thaw later in the winter. His last child was born after his death and was named for him.
Susannah remarried about a year later to Peter Dillon in Buck's County, PA. No one is sure how Luke and Peter were related. They later moved into Virginia and then into North Carolina.
