    1. [ALCOLBER] Laura BYRD, b. c1880, Lived in Greene 1897-190

    3. I am looking for a girl named Laura Byrd (maiden name). She was involved in the wedding of my grandparents at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Eutaw, Greene Co, AL on 26 Apr 1906. I have letters written by my grandfather, James Daniel Webb, indicating that she and my grandmother, Alice Ingram Turpin, were great friends. My grandparents were born in 1879 and 1881, putting Laura's birth somewhere in that neighborhood. During the years between 1897 and 1906 she probably lived in Forkland and/or Eutaw. I know that Dr. Alexander H. Byrd lived in Forkland in 1880, but he doesn't appear to have had a daughter named Laura, at least that I can find. There are so many Byrds in AL that I'm not really sure where to look next. My grandmother would certainly know the Alexander Byrd family, as Dr. Alexander married her aunt and both families lived in the same house in Forkland (near/at Thornhill) in 1880. So I would guess that Laura was kin to Alexander Byrd. But my grandmother also spent time in Colbert Co, AL where I also find many Byrds, but no connections to my Byrds. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Alice Campbell
