The David Buel Dille line is interesting. He was the son of David Jr. who together with Moses Cleaveland [note the spelling] founded Cleveland, Ohio. There's still a Dille road in Cleveland-Euclid, Ohio. David Buel Dille became a Mormon and moved to Kirkland, Ohio.
He was one of the founders of Nauvoo, Illinois, where he helped build the temple (he was a stonemason). His homesite is in the records at the visitors' center. He was a member of the Nauvoo Masonic Lodge, together with Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
He went west with Brigham Young and helped found Salt Lake City. All this qualified him as a "Mormon Pioneer." He had several wives and many children. David Buel Dille was my first cousin three times removed! My ancestor Caleb Dille was David Jr.'s brother.

CAPT George Dille was born in Riverstown, Ireland in 1619 and was christened at Waltham Abbey, Essex, in 1621. He became captain of the ship Goodfellow, and transported many Irish people to Boston. He was lost at sea in 1654.
He was the father of John Dille, who was born in 1645 and lived on Staten Island, then became one of the first settlers in Woodbridge, NJ in 1662. The book my folks and I wrote in 1964, The Dille Family, 300 Years in America, is on Teddie Noye's web site.
The commonest variant on Dille is Dilley. A few, including my great grandfather's second wife, changed the spelling to Dillie in about 1870, but that spelling and Dilly are quite unusual.
