Daniel Dikes in Il in 1840's to 1850's.

Janice, don't know if this will help you or not but I received a note several years ago from Lois Beck that stated from the book "History of Marion and Clinton Counties, Illinois" that a John Martin and others passed the winter of 1815-16. In the following spring Martin returned to camp now known as Santa Fe township. Among those who came back with Martin were, Parker Dikes, Daniel Dikes, Ephraim Walker and Thomas Nichols, all of whom had settled in places in the neighborhood, and were prominent pioneers of the county. The article goes on about an incident regarding Parker Dikes. I believe this Parker Dikes is my ggg grandfather, George Parker Dikes, as it says that he afterwards removed to Texas where as late as 1860 he was still living. My GPD was m. to Judy Beauchamp of the MD and GA Beauchamps and by this time he had several children, at least, Miles, Levi, Lovick, and my gg grandfather Mark Washington b. 1812, all of whom were some of the original settlers of Texas by abt. 1830 or so. So, if this was my GPD, I think you can work with the idea that Daniel was probably related closely to George Parker. Also, George's father's name was Stephen Dykes and another of Stephen's sons was named Daniel b. by abt. 1777. My info says this Daniel died aft 1850 possibly in Franklin or Colbert Co AL. Stephen's father was also named Daniel and he also named a son Daniel (who would have been Stephen's brother), so there's lots of Daniels in that line. I have that Daniel (brother to George Parker Dikes) was m. to Elizabeth Gollaher 2 Mar 1810 and that the had children Sampson, Elizabeth, stephen, and Thomas G. So brothers, Daniel and George Parker, may have been in IL together.
