Rhonda,
I don't have an answer for you pertaining to your Thomas YATES/DICKSON, but there was a "common" practice in Overton Co.,TN. that when a "bastard/illigitamate" child reached adulthood they would take the last name of their "biological" father. I myself have such a direct link from Overton Co.,TN. and I'm aware of even more such cases.
You'll have to investigate both the YATES and the DICKSON lines to help weed out your Thomas.
Good Luck,
