Have you checked the DICKEYs in Yalobusha County for possible relationship to this line? For example, the marriage bonds show union between: E. W. Dickey and Cora Gaston, 29 Jul 1896 S. D. Dickey and Fannie Pinkelton, 3 Dec 1899 Thomas J. Dickey and Mrs. E. A. Pillow, 29 Aor 1874 Rebecca J. Dickey and Henry Counts, 24 Aug 1848 William D. Haile and Lucinda Dickey, 15 Jan 1842 J. H. Sartain and D. J. Dickey, 13 Nov 1899 J. B. Trusty and Josie Dickey, 27 Dec 1891 There is a lengthy article on the family of Lillie Bell BOXX, nee DICKEY, on pages F-39-40 in the Yalobusha County History. I read through it but did not see a connection to the DICKEYs you named in your query, however. A quick check of the cemeteries of Yalobusha co. shows 6 DICKEYs interred in Oakhill Cemetery in Water Valley, 29 in Mount Liberty cemetery SE of Water Falley just inside the Calhoun county line, and a few more in various other cemeteries. I didn't take the time to compare the namew with those you've named, but will be happy to send you a list by private email if you wish. Bill Ward WARD, PASS, SARTAIN, BLAKELY in Lafayette Co. The 1870 census for Lafayette Co. shows Thomas J. DICKEY living in Water Valley Post Office area, north of the Yalobusha/Lafayette County line. That area was annexed in 1872 to place all of the Water Valley area into Yalobusha County at the request of the MCRR for taxation purposes. The census entry is as follows: Enumerator pge 35, census page 694 Family 284 Dickey, T. J. 38 M W Farming $0 $425 TN , M. J. 40 F W K. H. TN , D. A. 19 M W At home TN , J. J. 16 M W At home TN , M. A. 6 F W TN , D. E. 3 F W MS This leads me to believe the family moved into the county between 1864 and 1867, based on place of birth of last 2 children.
