Dildy ------ Added by Alvin Tyndall - tyndall1@ols.net Thank you for posting this Bible information. It has helped my research greatly and answered several questions. I can help answer some of the questions about spellings. Aniliser Watton is in fact Ann Eliza Wooten (the daughter of Worrel Wooten and his wife Tamsey Corbett; her brother was William Jackson Wooten of Greene County). Your NOTE re: Willie Dildy and Mansina his wife (NOTE: Mansina was a Bergeron) was the first evidence I have had other than the Death Certificate of John Dildy's sister who turned out to become my great grandmother.
