I sure don't. I can tell you that George and jane were in the household of William Mclean on the Ham Co 1870 census on 5 July and that Willam and Joseph were here also... For Effie's obit in Legacy it says she is the d/o George Dye (& Jane Smith- see Ham co m. #2388 25 aug 1864).... the Jane Smith part was added by Mr. Felty so it's possible that Effie could have had another mother as you suggest.... Columbus Dye was in Kencie, Ark. at time of her death (and was only sib mentioned) and he son Lealon Summers was in Thompsonville, Franklin Co., IL, and mabel of Jacksonville, IL?..... Best Regards, Trev
