[Oh, and sorry about all the extra spaces – I hate it when blog posts don’t look nice and neat, but for some reason blogger keeps adding lots of extra spaces between each line of text, but I’d rather get all my notes posted than spend a ton of time formatting, so this is what you get.]

subject Lafayette Dick
Stephanie,
I have been researching my family genealogy and ran across your website on Courtland Oliver Dick. My great grandfather, Morris Dick, had a brother Lafayette who could be your great, great, grandfather. Their father's name was John Dick but I have no more information. I have no idea what his middle name was, where he came from, etc. Would you have any information on Lafayette's parents? I appreciate any help you could give me.
Thank you,
Dan Dyer
Bend, Oregon”

subject Re: Lafayette Dick
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much for the information. I am at the same point as you and have come to a dead end at Morris and Lafayette's father John.
Morris Dick married America Moore after the death of Meitha (and 3 children..Susan, Mary & Joseph). Sadie was the only surviving child of Morris and Meitha at the time that Morris and America married. Morris and America had 9 children that I am aware of: Thomas - B 1887; Charley - B 1888; Emma - B 1892; John - B 1893; Bessie - 1895; Morris - B ?; Grover - B ?; Anna - B ?; Rheas - B ?. Morris and America owned and operated a ranch south of New Pine Creek, Oregon located in California. New Pine Creek is located on the Oregon-California border.
John Dick married Monteza (Monta) Sherman and had 4 children: Georgia, John, Dorothy and June. All are deceased except my mother, June (age 78). Morris Dick would be my great grandfather. He is buried in the Willow Ranch California cemetery. America Dick is buried in the New Pine Creek cemetery in New Pine Creek, Oregon.
I hope this information has helped you. I really appreciate all the information you have sent me. Please let me know if you find out any more on John Dick.
Dan”

Donna,
My husband has Morris Dick's in his family. His great grandfather was the first I know of, born Apr 3, 1836 in Virginia and died Nov 3, 1900 in Willow Ranch, CA. He was married to America Moore who was born in Illinois. They had children, Morris (lived in Hughson, CA in 1967), Grover, Thomas Moore (lived in New Pine Creek,OR), John, Rhesa (Ressie) (lived in Granite City, IL), Emma and Anna.
We have letters from a Mary E. Dick, written to Morris Dick on Feb 21, 1890, with salutation, "Dear brother". She was living in Grub Gulch, CA (which we have discovered is near Yosemite Park to the south. She was writing to inform him of Joe's death. I assume this was her husband. She said she was left with four children to support and no money. She mentioned her little girl that was born on Morris' ranch, feb 21, 1876, had died when she was 16 months old. The others were between 6 and 12. She asked where a Lewis was so she could write him.
We also have a letter from a Ballard Dick, dated July 18, 1899, with salutation, "My Dear Brother", but we have no envelope and the name Morris is not mentioned. Ballard was very sick, living in Clark County, Winchester, Kentucky, and needed money.
There are two letters from a friend, D.M.Barnett regarding deeds and prospects, dated in Sept, 1900.
I don't know if this may be helpful to you or not, but the son, Morris, also named one of his sons, Morris, making three right there, so maybe there is a connection.
My email addresses are jimhelen_dick@msn.com and helendick@autocheq.com if you think there is a connection, we could exchange more info.”
