Could this William Henry DYESS possibly be the
William who was son of Dempsey DYESS and Martha
GRAHAM? He is said to have been b. abt 1815-1820
in Pauldon, Jasper Co., MS. His parents lived out
their lives in Jasper Co., MS.

One of his sister Elizabeth's sons went to Hardin Co., TX
where one of his dau.'s married in 1897.
