JD, Your reply is interesting. Very little is known of my ancestors. My grandfather's name was William Marshall Dick. He was born 18 Sep 1863 in Camden, Madison Co., Mississippi. I know his father's name was William Dick and that he had 3 children: Cappy, James Franklin, b. 1855, and my grandfather William Marshall Dick. I've been told he was of Irish descent. The name Marshall Dick does make one want to make a connection. Does any of your Dick family live in the United States? If so, where did they live? MH
