and our Jordan and one known daughter named Lucretia who married William Dorten
Smith. When the Dykes family lived in

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."
