Hi, Don! I am a DICE descendant, my father was son of James Franklin DIES - DYAS - DICE etc. (yes, James Franklin spelled his name all of those ways, and more). James Franklin (J.F., Frank, Jim, etc.) was son of Robert DYAS. I am interested in the DIES book written be son of Martin DIES of Texas. Do you know where that book can be located? Is it a book about his family tree? If so, do you have the book? If you or another one on this list has access to the book, will you please check it to see if Robert DYAS or his father Thomas DYAS (any spelling) is listed? Any of the large DYAS family from SMITH COUNTY, TENNESSEE, and later MACON COUNTY and WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE? (In the early 1800s). Thank you very much, Jean Dice Wallace
