I would recommend checking for your Dickens in Surry Co., NC. Surry is just over the Grayson County line and there were many Dickens there. I have an early line from there but I don't have info on any Dickens in NC in your time frame. I would check the census records there.

Surnames: DICKENS, REEVES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jAC.2ACE/601 Message Board Post: I am trying to identify a Dickens family from North Carolina. My great-great grandfather Richmond Bourne Reeves had a son with an unidentified Dickens woman who was named George Pepper Reeves. George was born 8 May 1895, probably in Grayson Co., VA. On the 1900 census in Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA, R.B. Reeves (listed as Richard B.) is living with his son George P., and his "mother in law" Lucinda Dickens. Lucinda was born Feb 1850 in NC, with father born NC and mother born VA. She was widowed, and evidently her daughter that had given birth to George Pepper was deceased. I have no other names from this family other than that of Lucinda. I would really appreciate any help or leads that anyone could give me. ==== VAGRAYSO Mailing List ==== NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.
