This lady wrote: I'm a descendent of John Rankin Dyess b 3-22-1855 d 10-29-1924 of Clarke County, Mississippi. His father was C. R. Dyess b 11-27-1826 m to Margaret Sidney Gordon. I can furnish descendents from John Rankin if anybody is interested. I'd like to make a connection as to which of the 6 Dyess brother he was descended. I am not at home; and, don't have my DYESS material with me...but..if anyone has this information, could you please email it to her at: jgbg98@aol.com Thanks.... kaite...
