NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Guilford/1568 Surname: DYSON, DISON ------------------------- Seeking information on and/or descendants of Frederick Dyson (b. c1766 VA, d. c1858 in Caswell Co., NC). Son Thomas Dyson (b. c1803, d. 1873) was listed in Guilford in the 1860-70 censuses, in Oak Ridge Twp.; he m. 1) 1840 in Caswell Co. to Charlotte "Lotty" Hood and 2) 1858 in Guilford to Nancy Penn. [Thomas was apparently a bigamist; his wife Lotty was still alive in Rockingham Co. when he married Nancy Penn. Lotty later moved to Jamestown in Guilford Co. and eventually received the residue of Thomas's small estate after his death.] Thomas's known children were Edward (b. c1845, m. 1) 1868 in Guilford to Frances Dungy, 2) 1875 in Guilford to Caroline Low); William (b. c1847); and John (b. c1849, m. 1877 in Guilford to Catherine/Kate Clouse). Thomas Dyson's nephew John Dyson also moved (with him?) to Guilford. John Dyson was b. 1825 in Caswell, m. 1849 in Guilford to Lucinda Marshall, but by 1860 had resettled in Surry Co., near Mt. Airy, where he died in 1917.
