Lyda's Tennessee

I have traced my family name back to Tennessee but I am stumped at my great great grandfather Wesley Lyda. I am happy to have figured out the mystery of where my name came from because there is an obvious connection to Andrew Lyda line who's family migrated to Tennessee.

Since my family was "black" I am not entirely sure if I am related to the line or it was given slave name. My dad and grandfather at least are very fair with wavy curly hair, so it's not entirely out of the question to be related. There are just no connection. Its listed on here that a couple of the sons owned slaves so this is also a possible connection.

Anyone know the for certain the connection of the black Lyda's in Tennessee to the Lyda's that moved from NC?
