<p style="text-align: left;">I finally found some information on a possible link of William Dickey to his ancestors. I had found a census record that listed his parents as E.L. and Mary at one point. Today I found a tree with records for Edwin Lewis Dickey who married a Mary Ann East. I think this is the missing link for William to his parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This bit of tree traces back to John B. Dickey who was born probably between 1750 and 1760 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He came to America from Belfast on the Progressive Farmer and landed in Charleston, South Carolina. Later he received land grants in Amite County, Mississippi.</p>
