GEDCOM Note

He first shows up in Tattnall Co. on the Land Lottery receiving no land.
County, Georgia in 1820. One interesting finding comes in 1818 when
George and Christopher Dyess received letters in the Millidgeville Post
Office in Balwin County, Georgia. These letters were never picked up.
Christopher and George Dyess had already moved on, George to Wilkinson
and Christopher to Mississippi.

Also note the children of George, like
Violater, William Christopher, and Thomas D. Dyess. These children would
be named for George's brothers, Christopher and Thomas, and after
George's mother, Violator. George died in Stewart County 11/1841 as proved by a
court record dated May 8th, 1945 where guardianship of George's minor
child, John H. Dyess was being decided. The order from the court stated
"John H. orphan of George Dyess" and this was signed by Elizabeth Dyess
(wife of George), William Christopher Dyess (son of George), and Issac
McGrady (son-in-law of George).
George's children married and moved first to AL and then to MS.
