Handwritten family tree from about 1935 states Christopher Dilworth was a farmer and born in Ireland. There were 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls.

His son, James, died in the Crimean War in 1854 and is buried on the Island of Malta, There is a letter from him shortly before his death, written in the hospital.

His son, Richard 1836-1879, was born in County Tyrone and migrated to Canada circa 1860. A Canadian marriage record records Richard and his brother John marrying White sisters in 1864, both listing their parents as Christopher Dilworth and Ann D in Ireland.

Richard married Elizabeth White Dec 29, 1864 and John married Abigail White Oct 1, 1864, both at Nelson, Halton, Ontario, Canada. Richard died shortly after moving to Detroit, Michigan. His wife, Elizabeth moved the family to Spokane, Washington in 1889.
