I hate to dispute the last response, but Sallie Dix Junkin, married Basil Ballard from Natchitoches Parish and they do have a daughter named Dix. They are as far as I know not elated to the Dicks Family. There are some of them in Tullahoma, TN At one time were connected with the University Tennessee at Tullahoma. Dr. James Lewis who was a department chair in nuclear physics could possibly help you. At least I know he knows them.
