I am researching the Dye family. Abraham or William Abraham Dye & Letticia Coleston Dye moved their family from the Caswell Co. N.C. area. to Russell Co. Va. abt 1808-1810. Before that they were in Halifax Co. Va. They had 6 known sons & 1 daughter. Sons names were : Robert, John, Pryor, George, Fountain & Branson. The Daughter, Nancy, married William Little. The Littles had also come from Caswell Co. Most of the Dyes in Southwest Virginia descend from this family. I am collecting information on as many of their decendants as possible & hope to eventually have it published. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is a Dye descendant, & would be glad to trade info. Also if anyone has info on who Abrahams parents, gr. parents etc. are I would sure appreciate that. It is poss. that his father was Jacob Dye but I haven't been able to confirm this.
