Surnames: DYSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VKB.2ACE/1131.1.1 Message Board Post: LeRoyce, First thing that struck me was Coy DYSON, a name I knew was not in my data base. I can state that he was not a child of Thomas DYSON who was Manless DYSON's father and grandfather of Thomas "Frank" in my postings. There is a possible connection though. My DYSON line, in Missouri, begins with William DYSON. He had, to the best of my knowledge, only two sons Thomas and Wilson. As I feel safe in saying Thomas is out of the picture for your line that leaves Wilson about whom I know little. He was b. @1803/4 in N.C. and died after 1850. Wilson might be worth looking at for your Coy. Have you contacted Ellie Swanger. I know she posts to a number of DYSON lists and quite possibly this list as well. If you have trouble finding her address let me know I should have it somewhere.
