The Dilts family in Hunterdon County is abundant and always has been. However, I have not been able to attach William Dilts of Sandy Ridge to the larger Dilts family. His list of descendants will stand on its own until I can link him with the other Hunterdon County Dilts family.
First Generation:
(1) William Dilts (1765 – 1831) & Catharine Holcombe (1774 – 1868)
For more about this couple and their children, see Sandy Ridge, part two
Second Generation:
Since so many of the second generation were buried in the Sandy Ridge Cemetery, I have underlined the death dates of those buried there.
