George 'William' DYKES (1855 GA - 1890 TX)

KinseekerJanice — 2012-04-24 21:09:46Z

Seeking info about my g2-grandfather, George 'William' DYKES
Born: 24 Aug 1855 in Georgia
Died 9 Dec 1890 in Texas
Buried: Rock Church Cemetery, Tolar (area), Hood County, Texas

Married 23 Dec 1875 Hood County, Texas

Wife: Judith Ann(e) 'Judy' JACKSON
Born: 5 Dec 1856 Gilmer County, Georgia
Died: 13 Mar 1941 Pecos, Reeves County, Texas
Buried: Rock Church Cemetery, Tolar (area), Hood County, Texas
Father: Andrew J./David 'Andy' JACKSON (1822 NC - 1900 TX)
Mother: Mary McKULEY OSBORN (1824 NC - 1860 TX)

William and Judith had 7-8 children, including my great-grandmother, Donnie 'Pearl' DYKES (1878 TX - 1961 TX) who married Joseph Robert 'Joe' LOCKHART (1877 TX - 1949 TX).

I have been unable to find a death record for George 'William' but it is believed he died in either Erath County or Somervell County, Texas.

I have been unable to find him in any census prior to the 1880 Census (Erath County, Texas) which shows that William DIKES' {sic} parents were born in Virginia.

Descendants of George 'William' and Judith DYKES are known to have lived in Comanche, Dawson, Erath, Hood, Lampasas, Lubbock, and Tarrant counties (among others) in Texas.

Retired Texas Tech football coach, William Taylor 'Spike' DYKES is, reportedly, descended from this DYKES family.

texiwoman — 2012-03-31 13:41:39Z

this might mean nothing but our Lloyd Riddle and Nancy were the parents of the Riddle children; Lloyd died abt 1840 when in his probate he names his children, the 1st born John Y.; Nancy D. Riddle is the executrix of Lloyd's will Monroe Co Ms.; she was born Ala abt 1790 and he in NC Chatham. The marriage bond of Mary E. daughter of Nancy and Lloyd is signed by Henry Meachem (Mary md a Henry Meachem) and also by John Y. Dyches. Lloyd had land in Tallapoosa Ala and my gggrfa and his bro born in Ala-one said to be born Talladega. This was all Indian country; you can see my other posts on this group; i was under a different profile name back then-2 over the yrs, now texiwoman. Ok; Lloyd (Loyd) is descended from Julius Riddle and Tabitha (believed to have been Stewart).

Re: Eli Archibald Dykes/Nannie

texiwoman — 2012-03-31 12:30:18Z

are you still willing to share that photo? I think that our Nancy D. was a Nancy Dyches md to Lloyd Riddle. John Y. Dyches signed the marr. bond of Lloyd and Nancy's child John Y. Riddle (their 1st born).

Stella Dykes - 1907 Knox County Tennessee

mgpococat5 — 2011-10-25 15:58:32Z

Hi,
I am trying to find information on a Stella Amelia Dykes, born ~1907 to Milas and Mattie Dykes in Knox County Tennessee. In 1924, she had a son, Carl Huff, but there is no indication of who the father is. She showed up as "Louise Stella Hurt" in the 1930 census. No information on "Hurt" either, or where "Louise" came from. Any information on her would be helpful, thanks!

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

sukeyed — 2011-09-30 18:53:38Z

Hi Jean

We corresponded a number of years ago. In fact I found emails dated 2006. I'm no further forward than I was then as regards confirming the parents of Alexander Dykes and Marion Borland.

Have you seen the Loudoun Parish Burial records? There's an entry as follows:

"an infant child of Robert Dykes weaver in Greenholm Son of Decessed Alexr Dykes Greenholm was buried on 20 Mar 1846."

This goes some way to confirming that Robert was the son of Alexander. Alexander died in 1844.

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

sukeyed — 2011-09-30 18:43:42Z

Hi Sandra

My grandfather was Hugh, son of Hugh Dykes and Mary Conn
Hugh Snr was the son of James Dykes and Mary Love
James was the son of John Dykes and Jean Miller
and as you know, John was the son of Alexander Dykes and Marion Borland.

How did you manage to trace them back to the 17th century. I can't go any further back than Alexander. I think his parents were James Dykes and Margaret Brown but have no real evidence of that.

Regards
Susan

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

jeanster62 — 2011-09-30 08:04:14Z

Hi Susan, its Jean here

As you can see from my reply to Sandra I am linked up to the same line as you too. Who do you come through?

Regards
Jean

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

jeanster62 — 2011-09-30 08:01:34Z

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes it looks like we do link up. My line comes through Gavin Dykes who was my grandfather.
Gavin was the son of Alexander Dykes and Margaret Brown
Alexander was the son of Robert Dykes and Isabella Watson
Robert was the son of Alexander Dykes and Marion Borland.

Your line and mine are linked with Robert and John who were brothers. I haven't any proof of their parents hence me contacting you. I'm still working on it.

Regards Jean from New Zealand.

Gavin came out to New Zealand when he was 27. I will keep in touch. Let me know if you need to know anything as I haven't put everything on my family tree.

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

Sandra_Ward1963 — 2011-09-30 06:04:43Z

Yes they feature in my grandmothers lineage too.
My gran was Margaret mclatchie dykes, daughter of Hugh dykes and Margaret gage.
Hugh was the son of John dykes and Jean Morton
John was the son of John dykes and Jean/jane miller
John was the son of Alexander dykes and Marion Borland.

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

sukeyed — 2011-09-28 18:55:40Z

Hi Sandra

I've traced my Dykes ancestors back to Greenholm, Galston Parish, Ayrshire. My gggg grandfather Alexander Dykes, born c. 1761 and his wife Marion Borland.

I think his parents were James Dykes and Margaret Brown but I haven't found a definitive source to confirm this. Are they in your tree too?

Kind regards
Susan

Re: Galston, Scotland members of the Dykes family

Sandra_Ward1963 — 2011-09-27 22:38:18Z

My grandmother died in 2006 and her maiden name was Dykes - the family came from the Newmilns and Galston area of Scotland. I have traced her lineage back to 1650's in the Loudoun/Galston area. Not sure where your family tree might fit in - if it is the same family we're researching but feel free to drop me a note with names and I will certainly check if they appear anywhere.
Kind regards
Sandra

We are stuck at an early part of our family tree. My father's father was Terry W. Dykes and his father was Otis Dykes so far all we have is that he was born in 1913-2004 and his wife, Dales Texas Keck, was Cherokee Indian. We have nothing for either of these two, please help.

Re: Lovick P. Dykes

Jim, have we exchanged info. I see your post on this site under Lovick and wonder if you have checked my www.RoutonandRiddle.org website to see if I have the info regarding your connection to Mark Dikes? I get lots of email and have also changed computers and with Outlook have not figured out how to transfer old email and so just have to keep going back to the old comp and see what I've got and sometimes just keeping up with the new email coming in doesn't give me much time to look through old. Please email me direct at alannancy@sbcglobal.net. Thanks!

William George Dykes

grandyandpops — 2011-01-17 13:38:29Z

I see a mistake on the Dykes and would like to warn others of if. People have William George Dykes as born in 1726 in Barnwell, South Carolina.
They have him marrying Susanna Everette in 1740 when he was only 14 years old and having his first child in 1741 while he was only 15.
Now, while I am going to say that this is not impossible, it would be highly unlikely.
So for those that copy others work, take a moment and think what you are looking at. It may save you a huge dose of egg in face.

grandyandpops — 2011-01-12 18:51:21Z

I am working on George Dykes (1750-1818) and his wife who I believe is Mary Bryan. My problem lies in the report that Mary died in 1786 and there are many people that have her still bearing children long after she died.

Does anyone have proof of her death date and proof of the children of George and Mary Bryan? The report is that they both died in Pulaski Co. Georgia. There are two list out which give children that do not match.
