Hello,
I am researching a family name that came down to us as Tillapaugh in our gggrandmother. I have learned this name has been spelled MANY ways, at least 20, and is a branch of the Dallenbach's that came from Switzerland around 1710 to New York. Some remained loyalists and received land in Canada. The place names Onasbruck, Matilda, and Williamsburg are mentioned in family records. The father was John Christian Dillenbach, b. 1742, NY, m. to Anna Margretha Stix, and these children also came to Canada: Chrisian, b. 1771, Peter, b.1773, David,1782, Joseph, Mary, Nicholas, John, Martin. Possible 2nd wife, Barabara Thomman. Most of my info came from a book called, "The Dallenbach's in America," which is available at Ancestry.com. Unfortunately, the Canadian branch of the family did not send records to be included when this book was written. I believe our grandmother is from this branch of the tree in Canada. Would appreciate any contact with anyone able to help with cemetery or church records. Thanks.
