Biography
Arthur was descended from the marriage of Thomas Dillon Esq of Riverstown, to Anne Luttrell of Luttrellstown, "the progenitors of the Dillon Baronets of Lismullen". [1]
Arthur was the son of Sergeant Major Arthur Dillon. [2]
He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the army. [2]
"[Around 1650,] more than 100 years after Sir Thomas Cusack acquired Lismullin, the property passed to the Dillons when a Dillon from Rivertown married a Miss Cusack, heiress of Lismullin." [3]
Arthur owned Lismullen, County Meath. [2]
He also owned Dillonstown, County Louth, which he sold to Mr Fortescue. [2]
His wife was named Mary[2] Caulfield[4].
Arthur & Mary had one daughter and three sons[2]:
- daughter Dillon, married Dillon Newman Esq. [2]
- Sir John Dillon, heir. [2]
- Arthur Dillon Esq, of Quartertown[2], County Cork, died 1693[5].
- George Dillon, died 1676 at Trinity College, Dublin. [2]
Other records show another daughter:
- Elizabeth Dillon, eldest daughter, married Walter Pollard MP of Castle Pollard. They had a daughter Letitia. [6]
Arthur's will was dated December 1684 and proved in April 1685. [2]
There is a will dated 1706[7] for Arthur Dillon Esq of Lismullen that doesn't match any of the Arthurs recorded here on WikiTree so far. Because of the same name, can't be a brother or a son. Can't be the father because he was of Riverstown.
