I have researched as many sites as possible online including Ancestry, FamilySearch, Geni, etc. I am working on my uncle's genealogy and he descends from the Dykes family in Tennesse and North Carolina which led me to some kind of "iffy" connections to the Dykes Family of Warthall. I tend to think that someone placed a bogus connection of "Henry" Dykes or Dikes or Dawkes to the aristocratic family of Dykes. I have found it in multiple sites and other public trees but I don't see ANY Henry Dykes listed in the Dykes of Warthall pedigree that was published by the Vistations- The primary names in that family were William, Leonard and Thomas - all repeated in multiple generations. Then suddenly someone connected them to multiple generations of "Henrys". So I have to conclude that the Henry Dawkes or Dykes that came here had unknown origins in England. So I have left it there.... I believe there is a link on this site to the Vistation lineage that was published years ago...
