Meredith, your query came across on the list from the query server. You are the first person I've seen who identified Margaret S. Dyson (who, I presume, was a daughter of John and Ann (Heard) Dyson) as having the middle name Stuart. Do you have solid info on this middle name or are you guessing what the S stood for? John and Ann Dyson were my 3ggps - thru their son John Heard Dyson. (Both John and John Heard Dyson served as clerks of court in Wilkes County.) Can I help you with the Dyson or Heard lineage?
