William (S) Dillon was born in Monroe Co., Ohio in 1838 and resettled as a 
young boy with his family to Lawrence Co., Ohio in the middle 1840,  He 
eventually met his wife, Rachel "Amanda" Reed, daughter of John and Elizabeth 
Reed (both of whom are buried in the Scottown Cemetery).  Vincent shared his 
property with three sons, William, Vincent Jr and Henry.  They, of course, all 
became farmers, but William and Henry were also known especially for their 
blacksmith experience and success.  William also is known to have wipsawed the 
poplar timbers used the in the original construction of the Scottown bridge.  
William also built a corner Chia cabinet for his home out of local maple 
wood.  This china cabinet is currently in the possession of William's great 
grandson, Henry S. Dillon.  (Henry S. Dillon)
