Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/887 Surname: Graves, Wilson, Dykes, Bullock, Rutland ------------------------- Dawn, We may have a match here. I have an Isaac N. Dykes, son of James Dykes and Mary Ann (Pollie) Rutland, b 1846. Married Sarah Jane, 1880. I show Isaac died in 1880, tho this is by no means carved in stone. My information comes from a descendant chart and, with the exception of his siblings, this is all I have on Isaac. Those siblings were: William B; Henry C; Sarah Ann; Mahala Ann; L. A.; W. R.; H. L.; and J. B. This descendant chart I have is on the Rutland line and it also shows ANDERSON Rutland, b 1838, brother to Mary Ann (Pollie), and married to Betsy Wilson and Elizabeth Graves. According to this chart, the 1900 census shows, under Notes for Betsy Wilson,: stepson, Martin Wilson, b 1867; Mary A. Wilson, neice, b 1866; EMMANUEL, nephew, b 1871; DAniel, nephew, b 1874 and Floyd, nephew, b 1879. There is also the notation: Alona, sister or sister-in-law, b 1852. (I have not figured it out!) My gr gr grandmother was Lydia Graves married Quinney Bullock. She was the daughter of Robert Hiram and Cecelia Jane Dickens Graves. Lydia's daughter, Susana Bullock, married William Allen Rutland. I am having a very difficult time sorting out the Rutland connections of Covington Co. They include the Dykes, Wilsons, Graves, and others. Perhaps you can help sort out the families. Loretta
