No none of theses names are familiar I haven't followed the Sykes Family that much. I'm mostly interested in the Swords Sallie Sword was the DAUGHTER OF HENRY SWORD.
SHE WAS married to a Francis Browning. She had 4 boys, Henry, John, Francis and Lucas.
they divorced and the older Henry Her father told her to raise the boys as Swords and he would help her.
She married Jacob Syke(Sick) around 1829and divorced him in 1932. She is buried in PIkesville Ky.
We are descended from John Sword Who married Rebecca Ratliff,
Any way, I don't think it's the same Sykes.
Keep me posted if at any time you run across any of these names.

Hi,
My SYKES appear to have only been sent/migrated to Australia. Although from the IGI it does appear that at
least one did go to the States (USA).
