I did a search of the current Bell County cemetary transcriptions and did not locate any Dyches. Of course, not all Bell county cemetaries are transcribed yet. (Coming soon: New Project!) However, I did find the name Dyches on the following TXGenWeb sites: http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/jefferso.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/williams.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/abstracts/haskell.txt http://c-23.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/tx/williamson/census/1850/1850ind x.txt If you were referring to the Virtual Cemetary archives, there's not a lot there yet, but you can do a search on just about any field, including last name: http://www.genealogy.com/vcem_welcome.html Hope that helps...

DYCHES. I think they lived in that are. William DYCHES died in about 1854. Jane or Sarah Dyches, William's wife, was still living in 1880 in the Salado post office area on the census. Elias, their oldest son, was still living in 1900. But I've never been able to find where they were buried. Thanks for assistance. Jackie Morgan
