The Dillon Family Website is for the celebration and historical collection of the DESCENDANTS of the "BC10" OF BOGUE CHITTO, MS. The BC10 are the children of James Buchanan and Mattie Dillon (maiden name Bailey).
Bogue Chitto is named for a nearby river, and the name is an Indian word meaning "big creek".
The population in 1900 was 582. At that time, the settlement had telephone and telegraph services, a school, and several churches. The local economy involved the lumber industry, and a lumber mill and cotton gin were located there.
