Surnames: Dykes and Lambert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADE/1092.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Was the Thomas Dykes you are talking about the son of Thomas G. and Zilpha Howell Dykes? I believe this would have been a different Thomas, maybe her uncle, maybe he was a brother to my grandmother's mother Sallie Dykes. The reason for this is the date of his death. My grandmother was born in 1878 and this Thomas would have been a lot older than her. Do you know if Thomas and Zilpha had a daughter maybe named Sarah Caroline? I believe Sallie was a nickname for Sarah and I have also seen my grandmother's mother's name stated as Caroline Dykes. Thanks, Imogene Smith
