Circumstantial evidence would tend to support the belief that Cecelia was the daughter of George Dykes, Jr. and not William Dykes.I visited the location of William's old saw mill ,which was powered by a steam engine. This was a relatively new invention at the time he operated the mill. The remaining ruins were of the hand made brick foundation which supported the engine and even some old pieces of the boiler. These ruins are located just off Hwy. #3, Baldock, S. C., Allendale Co. S. C.( Old Winton Co.; Barnwell Dist.; Barnwell Co.)The property was once known as Dyche's Mill Plantation and eventually became the property of Dr. Elijah Gillette who passed it on to his daughter Lavinia. George, Jr. lived in what was old Orangeburg Dist., now Aiken Co. S. C. near Hollow Creek waters of the Edisto River. The Courtney family also settled in this area. The distance from William's residence to George's residence would have been 50-60 miles "as the crow flies", not to mention that roads were scarce if non-existent. Therefore a courtship between Johnathan Courtney and one of William's children would have been extremely difficult. Johnathan and "Celia" are buried near the area in which George, Jr. once lived at Rocky Springs Bapt. Ch. Cem., Aiken CO. S.C. I firmly believe that Cecelia was daughter of George Dykes,Jr. Cecelia's daughter, Sarah Ann married her second cousin Levi Henry Dykes son of George Dykes IV and grandson of William. Hope this puts some of the old "myths" to rest McQueens, nieces marrying uncles, etc.

Cecilia Dykes B-1771 D-Nov. 5, 1857 M-Rev. Johnathan Courtney B-1768 D-Jun. 1, 1852. Both are buried Rocky Springs Bapt. Church Cem. off Hwy. #21, Aiken County, S. C. They had 10 children, one of whom was Sarah Ann. She B-1787 D- ? M-Henry Dykes B-ca. 1780 D-May 31, 1843 in Sumter Co., Ga. Both are buried in the Andersonville, Ga. Cem. I don't have their children's names but, speculate that Benjamin Dykes,of Andersonville was their son. He owned a large part of the land on which the very infamous Andersonville Prison was built.

Notes for JOSIAS DYKES:
Bonnie G. White, a Dyches descendant of 4704 Firestone Drive S,
Mobile, Alabama, 36609 wrote March 5, 1993:
"My g-g-g-grandfather was Josias Dyches of Barnwell County [created in 1798 from Orangeburg District].He was born December 5, 1780 and is regarded as the son of William Dyches."Lt. William Dick" who served as a Revolutionary soldier under Gen. Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox."Josias Dyches was married about 1801 to Sarah Johnston [Johnson?] who was born December 20, 1783.
In the 1810 census of Barnwell County "William Dyche" is enumerated one page away from "Josias Dyche."In the 1820 census "William Dicks" and "Josias Dicks" are recorded in consecutive entries.Ages of the wife and children of "Josiah Dicks" match the children of Josias Dyches and Sara Johnston Dyches.
On the same page with "William Dicks" and "Josias Dicks" in 1820 were enumerated Seth Dyches and John Dyches.John Dyches was married there in 1811 to Elizabeth Freeman.For the intervening
census returns John Dyches reappeared, but in the 1860 census he was recorded as "John Dicks," still with Elizabeth.
The father of Josias Dyches was listed as Lt. "William Dick" in the "DAR Patriot Index."I had an elderly cousin, now deceased, who joined the DAR in 1939 under his name.Lt. William Dyches was remarried in 1783 to Penelope Johnson who was born in 1760.He died in 1832."
Sara Johnston Dyches died in Barnwell County June 3, 1848, and Josias Dyches died there August 3, 1850.
