In response to Katie this morning B. G. Dyess is also the great great great great grandson of Henry Dyess. This is also my line as I am a descendent of George W. Dyess through his youngest son John Hall Dyess. Has anyone done anything with George Dyess wife Elizabeth Everett? Also I found a Velair Beasley that married a Mr. Dyas in the same time frame as John Dyess marring Violator ? Could Violator be a bad spelling or a mispronouncing of Velair??? Anyone one to go to bat on this, besides my cousin Charles Lee. Richard Lee wintex@mindspring.com
