Ellie . . . I have not seen the spelling of "Dyson" but I have seen the spelling "Dison". I was in Salt Lake City last Jul of 06 and went to the Mormon Family History Center. There was a book that (I'm sorry I have misplaced the cover page) held the families of Carroll county Arkansas. If I remember correctly it was dark red. Anyway, the book had 3 WRIGHT families: "WRIGHT - James Brantley Wright was born June 30, 1851 at the Wright homestead just north of Grandview, AR near Brush Creek. He died June 27, 1901 of typhoid fever." This article talks of his wife Elizabeth Keeland and their 7 sons and 4 daughtes, one of the sons being John "Jolly" Dison WRIGHT b. 22 Oct 1870 and d. 6 Nov 1939. The second article speaks of John WRIGHT's sons and the third article is about Joseph Samuel WRIGHT. According to this book, the writer says "It is stated the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church was organized about 1853 by several men including Brantley Wright and Dyson Wright. I believe this history is referring to James B. Wright, Feb. 2, 1830 - Jan. 20, 1858. I also believe the correct spelling of Dyson to be Dison." So here you have one man's opinion of the spelling of Dyson / Dison. I was in Philadelphia for the month of Oct working on my "blood line" who came with William Penn in 1680. I was researcing records that are not out on the Net. I discovered that a lot of the problem comes from recorders (Census takers, Tax collectors, Heirling Priests etc.) who only spell "phonetically". Oh well . . . If it were easy, we'd miss the fun. Lynn R. Hudson
