I would like very much to learn of the documentation you have for any of this information from Barnwell, SC and earlier. Thanks Faye

I have established my lineage back to Henry Dyess d. 1738 SC. One of his sons, John was the father of "The Six Dyess Brothers of SC" as called on another website. One of the six, William Dyess b. 1765 Barnwell Co.SC was my great great great grandfather through his son Dempsey, then Dempsey E., and Abraham, my grandfather. I am going Ireland late in Sept. and am hoping to learn the name of my immigrant ancestor. I was told that he came from County Cork. Dan Dyess Ddyess@aol.com

Brain Dyes put the following query out.... His email address is: briandyes@compuserve.com I have been searching for my Grandfathers birthplace and parents. All the people that I know of in England with the surname Dyes were descended from him - but I don't know where he came from. Thomas Edward Dyes was probably born on June 6th 1873 and married an Elizabeth Mary Barber on January 27th 1895. He may have been a bastard son of a girl with the surname Dyes. Any help of information would be very welcome. Thanks Thanks for any help.... kaite...

Subj: The Civil War in South Carolina Date: 98-06-26 17:10:10 EDT From: GaLinaHist@AOL.COM (John Rigdon) Sender: DEEP-SOUTH-ROOTS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU (A discussion list for genealogy in AL, GA, FL and MS) Reply-to: GaLinaHist@AOL.COM To: DEEP-SOUTH-ROOTS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU I've added a couple of thousand more names to my Civil War in South Carolina site primarily from the rosters of the men who surrendered at Appomattox. This now brings the total to 7,817 names on line along with biographical notes on many of them and the units in which they served. This makes about 12% of the 65,000 men who served from South Carolina, and about 25% of the approx. 30,000 names I have found now on line. Many thanks to the many who have helped to fill in the holes and correct errrors which have been found in the rosters.! I welcome any additional bio. / genealogical info. you may have on the men who served from SC. Enjoy! http://members.aol.com/superstore/sccd.htm
