Given the closeness of Hamilton county, TN to McMinn county, TN I woud say the odds are that your Dye s may be one of the children of Henry Dye, whom Gilbert is the only one I have a source for. If one of Henry's children went with Gilbert, I would say they would appear on the 1840 census and maybe the 1850 census. I would also say they would be members of Pond Creek Baptist Church, McMinn county, Tn now First Baptist Church of Sweetwater, Monroe county, TN.
1. Willem Dey was a part of a group of migrants from the island of Barbados which means they were either less prosperous slave holders that sold out or most likely the children of indentured servants freed and given passage because blacks were cheaper, and mor heat/tropic disease resistant. He was probably born abt 1790 in Barbados. On the old stage road to Hackensack, NJ is a graffiti preserved by the State of New Jersey as a historical site that says "10 hour (by) stage anno (Domini) 1696. This would be the trip from New Amsterdam to Hackensack. A boy and his knife can do wonders on a rock outcropping! William and his five brothers were Torie supporters during the Revolution. They actually supplied food for them. The Dey s that stayed in NJ changed their names to Day to probably to help with the fact that their side lost. The ones that went to SC kept thier names because they were unknown
