Hi All, Joe said it was ok to post this to the list, Very little can be found on Green Byrd. Good luck to all In 1994 a cousin and myself put together a book on the branch of Byrds that came to Texas, my line of descendants are John Mitchell Fountain,Ollie Elizabeth Byrd, some spelled it Bird, James Mitchell Byrd, Green Byrd, John Byrd, a Revolutionary war soldier that came to Dale co. Al. and died there, John Byrd, William Byrd, John Byrd , who was born about 1670 Va. died in Chowan co. NC. His father was John but I have never been able to fin the next one in line. Now all I have to go on is that I found a pension application on Green Byrd where he fought in the Creek Indian War. He said he was born in 1806 July 4, in Emanuel co. Ga. Now there is only one Byrd in Emanuel Co. Ga. in 1810 or in this time frame, John Byrd, he came into Dale co. Al. Not much on him but it appears he was living with a daughter. Isham Byrd was a brother to Green as best as we could tell, we think one of the sisters married an Ard. All generations are proven except John to Green. Ruth White of Virgina Beach, Va. hired a professional to find all he could on John Byrd, she wanted to join the daughters of the Americian revolution. through him. There is a pension on him he fought 21/2 years. Back to Green Byrd he married Mary Ann Archer Jones widow Of Gideon Jones in 1849 Dale co. Al. He was pretty old when he married. They had James MItchell Byrd and Narcissus Byrd who married William Washington Watson. Mary died and in 1879 Nov.13 Green Byrd marrried Nancy Caroline Holloway. He came to Texas in about 1883-84. Green died 7 Feb. 1893 and is buried in Salem cem. Shelby co. Texas. He has a tomb stone. but it is old and broken. We need to put another one at his grave. Green married Nancy Holloway in Coffee co. There is much more but I'am not very good at typing. Maybe this will help if you can fill in any blanks on Ards, I think the Windhams were close to Green Byrd. The pension on him tells alot about him it had been there 150 years? before I found it. Joe Fountain I forgot to tell you John Byrd was thought to have married 2 times, the second was Elizabeth Neal, the only thing I have to go on here is Ruth White said some old papers were found in the courthouse or some place where records were kept in emanuel co. ga.I haven't seen these, they were to having someone to look over them and then record them. I would like to know if they ever did put them out for the public. John was suppose to have been going back and forth from SC to Ga. maybe selling cows.
