Do you know of Dye ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Dye. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Dye.<1>

Our sources for Dye (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Dye other than they indicate that Dye would be found somewhere in Elbert County, Georgia.
