Hello. Thank you for your service to your community. I found some very interesting information on https://www.ancestry.com yesterday afternoon. Some of my ancestors were named McDilda because my 4th great-grandparents were Elias McDilda and his wife Sabra Bowen. Their daughter was Mary McDilda and she was married to Irving Jackson Colson Hodges. Your ancestor was one of her first cousins. My 2nd great-grandmother was Georgia Missouri Hodges and she was married to Jefferson Forrest Smith. My great-grandmother was a second cousin of you and her name was Lilly Virginia Smith. She was married to James Alexander Tippins. Their daughter was Georgia "Myrtle" Tippins and she was married to Clyde Edenfield. Their son is my dad and this makes me your 3rd cousin three times removed. RIP cousin Troy.
