Comment:
I refer to this Benjamin Franklin Dykes as Sr. because that's how he's
listed on his headstone.

Pelican, La
Married to Permela, born 1835, d. ?
Children (1870 Jasper County Census)
Elender J. 15 - female
Benj. F. 13 - married Matilda Davis
George Allen 6
Aras 4 - female
Melvina 2
These are the only children I know of.
Benj. F. Dykes born May 7, 1857, d. Feb. 22, 1938, Pelican, La. Married
Matilda Davis, b. Nov. 10, 1854,
died Sept. 21, 1927. Children:
Primma Permilian b. 1874
Andrew Franklin b. 1875
Eli Napoleon b. 1878 (named for my great, great grandfather)

Addie b. unknown
Maggie, b. unknown, married ? Dunlap, #2 Jack Pettit
Clara b. 1892, d. 1980, married James Clark d. 1957
My grandfather told us that Benjamin Franklin Dykes Sr. b. 1835, served
with Elias Davis (Matilda Davis'es father), and my great, great, great
grandfather in the Civil War. He was with him when he was mortally
wounded in the Battle of Corinth, October 3, 1862. Benjamin later joined
Newt Knight as did two of Elias'es brothers, a brother in law (David
Pridgen), and many other individuals familiar to my family. Recently
I've corresponded with a lady who gave me information on B.F. Dykes born
in 1781, I had'nt heard of him. She said his wife was possibly Martha
Elizabeth or Elizabeth Martha Coates. Their children were Martha, Sarah,
and Geo. Washington Dykes m. Frankie Gunter. Geo. Washington killed in
civil war.
She has Frankie Gunter marrying Younger Welborn after Geo. Washington's
death.

Benjamin Franklin DYKES was my great great grandfather. Benjamin DYKES
(spelled Dikes in the census book) was Mellie's grandfather. He was born
in the Orangeburg District of South Carolina in 1781, but was living in
Jasper county MS by the 1830's. His oldest son (Mellie's father) Benjamin
Franklin DYKES, Sr. was born in MS in 1835. He was in Company F, 7th
Batallion, MS Infantry during the Civil War. A farmer, he sometimes went
AWOL when he had to go home to plant or harvest the crops. This was not
an uncommon practice. His only brother, George Washington DYKES, was also
in Company F, but was killed early in the war.
Frances Melvina DYKES (Big Mama) known as "Mellie" or "Mel" was born in
MS in 1869 and married William Thomas "Tom" JOHNSTON (Big Dad) in 1887.
They moved in the early 1890's to Pelican, LA.
After the Civil War many of their relatives and neighbors had already
begun the move west from Jasper and Jones Counties to the Pelican area. A
group of these people most of whom were related, were known as the
"Mississippi Settlement" community. Some of these early settlers were
Blackwells, Davises, Johnikens, Raborns, Rishers, and WELBORNS among
others. Tom JOHNSTON was a cotton farmer and owned quite a bit of
property and cattle. When the oil and gas boom hit Pelican about 1915, he
and his sons hauled oilfield equipment. An oil company drilled a well on
the property, but only hit gas and abandoned the well. Mellie JOHNSTON
raised her family, never learning to read or write. She could count money
though. After her husband died of.DYKES Page 16 of 17

Parkinsons Disease in 1939, she continued to live in Pelican. Her son,
Luther, lived next door and looked after her, later moving her into his
own home. She died in 1960 at the age of 91.
Permelia GUNTER (Mellie's mother) was the daugher of Elizabeth of South
Carolina (b 1808) and Allen GUNTER of South Carolina (b 1798). She was
born in Smith County, MS in 1835. Her first child was born in 1855 and
her last in 1876. She died sometime between 1876 and 1894 because her
husband, B. F. DYKES, Sr. married Savilia Anderson "Sis" in Aug 1894.
B. F. DYKES, Sr moved to Pelican where he lived with his daughter, Mellie
and her family for several years before his death. They added a room onto
the house for him in the front by the porch. He spent a lot of time on
that porch with his rocker and his chewing tobacco. He was known as
"Pap".
