Paternal DILL roots are traced to Fannad (County Donegal) Ireland, whose families sailed to America around 1700. This particular DILL family arrived in Delaware, Kenton County (Murderkill region) and migrated southward down to Caswell County, North Carolina to the Tyger River Valley near Greenville, South Carolina - tracking westward across Appalachia and the Cumberland plateau to White, Smith, and Jackson counties in middle Tennessee - moving westward to Union County, Kentucky - traveling up the Ohio River to Henderson County - crossing north to Vanderburgh County (Evansville, Indiana) where I was born in 1951 and raised. I presently reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and have lived there since 1993.

My father's maternal roots stem directly from the French Huguenot progenitor Bartholomew DUPUY whose descendants arrived in King William Parish, Virginia around 1700 - moving west to Woodford County, KY - to Shelby County, KY - through James Dupuy Jr., whose prominent family had lived for many years (up through the Civil War) in the small community of Utility, Kentucky in Hancock County near the county seat of Hawesville - connecting through the ADKINS family from Hancock County, KY and ultimately connecting to the GOODLEY line (via brothers James and John Goodley) from Wimblington, England whose families came to America by 1850 - migrating west to Missouri and southern Indiana along with their nine children. The youngest, being my great-grandfather George Brammer Goodley (b.1877) and his wife Ora Bee Adkins Goodley (b. 1876) who raised their family just outside Henderson, KY in the Zion community.

My mother's roots are traced to the very proliferating and interwoven COBB and TIMMONS families from Webster County, KY, and the SIMPSON family from middle Tennessee/Wilson County, TN.
