Rev. Samuel Dilley (May 8, 1802 - September 30, 1874)

Samuel Dilley was born May 8, 1802, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the son of Ephraim Dilley and Lucy Uiss Ayers. He grew up in Guernsey County, Ohio.

Samuel floated a boat down the river from Ohio to New Orleans. He may have come Natchez Mississippi to take the Natchez Trace back home but his plans changed. He met and married Martha Ann Little in 1827, who died in childbirth as did their child.

Samuel Dilley moved to Yazoo County in about 1818-20. He then married Charlotte Lemenda Hinds Usher in 1835. Samuel farmed and imported and sold trees. They were the parents of 12-13 children. Five of the boys and their father Samuel were in the Civil War as CSA soldiers or militia. He too was part of the "HOME GUARD" of the local militia "Satartia Rifles"

He was an ordained minister and helped establish the Wesley Methodist Chapel in Claibornsville (Phoenix) Mississippi, where he is now buried. He died in 1874 after a long and productive life, leaving a lineage of faith for his descendants.
