William Dykes married Phoebe Singleton and had three sons, James, Isaac and our Jordan and one known daughter named Lucretia who married William Dorten Smith. When the Dykes family lived in Georgia there were several different families of them living around a creek. They were given land (in Louisiana?) through a Spanish land grant. This information was given to us in an interview with Herbert Dykes, a fourth cousin to my husband's grandfather, the son of another Herbert Dykes who was the son of Oscar Dykes. There is supposed to be a Dykes Cemetery somewhere down there right along the state line. We have not had a chance to go back down to see if we could find it."
