April 28, 1787: Henry served as Petit Juryer in Winton Co. SC.

Nov 1, 1788: Henry listed as an appraisor of the estate of Andrew Feasters, Winton Co. SC.

Sept 2, 1789 Henry listed as an appraiser on the estate of William Everett. William Dyess is Exector.

July 31, 1798: Henry listed as an appraisor of the estate of Thomas Castlelow, Winton Co. SC.

Henry born in 1755 in South Carolina first shows up in the courts as

buying land from Daniel Odom on January 12, 1782 in the back swamps of

the Savannah River near Upper Three Runs in Barnwell County, South

Carolina (Deed Bk A pg 119). Then on February 09, 1784 Henry sold this

land to John Dyess, his brother, and family records state this is when

he moved to Burke, County Georgia and then he moved on to Liberty

County. Henry fought in the Revolutionary War as an Lieutenant under

Captain Joseph Johnson of the South Carolina Militia from 04-27-1781 to

12-01-1781 (aa: 2119). After being released from service Henry endorsed

an indent for John Green to receive monies due him for service in the

war and Henry also endorsed an indent to William Everritt to receive

land due him for his service in the war. These two men are interesting

because John Green was the father-in-law of his brothers, John and

Thomas Dyess, and William Everritt was the father-in-law of his brother,

William Dyess. Henry, John, William, and Thomas I believe were brothers

and it is also believed that their father had died leaving these four

boys and two other sons, Christopher and George. Perhaps John Green and

William Everritt may have helped these boys with thier affairs. After

the war Henry married Winnifred Boyett and soon moved to Georgia, first

to Burke County and then on to Liberty County. Family descendents state

that Henry lived the remainder of his life in Liberty County. However,

in 1809 in South Carolina William Everritt's (Henry's father-in-law)

estate was sold in Barnwell County, South Carolina. In this estate sale

several of the Boyett children bought items and Henry Dyess bought a

horse and saddle. So it is believed that perhaps Henry or his son, Henry

Jr, came back to Barnwell for a period of time. I do not know of any

another Henry's of legal buying age except the Henry who married

Winifred Boyett and his son Henry Jr. Also Henry did move to Ware

County from Liberty County. He died in Ware County thus disproving that

he did live all of his life in Liberty County, Ga. Nothing more is known

about Henry Dyess.

4/1/1806 Tattnall Co. GA. Henry Dyess listed a Juror.

9/6/1813 Tattnall Co. GA. Records indicate land survey of 250 ac on Battle

Creek. Land adjoining Henry Dyess. cc Bryant Land & George Warren.

counties, settled about 1800 in Liberty. There's more.
