I apologize if I've sent this before. I just haven't gotten it back in my list email, so I'm trying again. 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

Alice My name is Pete Stackhouse. I lived at Strawberry Hill farm in the late 40's and early 50's. Thornhill farm was on the Boligee hwy. about 5 miles from Forkland. It's been a long time ago but I believe my Uncle Kirby and wife Aunt Laura ran the Thornhill farm. I don't know Laura's maiden name. I'll try to find out. I have two living Aunts that could know. Strawberry Hill was about 1/2 mile from Forkland. It was my understanding that the Thornton's lived in Eutaw and Kirby ran the farm. I don't have proof. Kirby was born 1907 and died 1984. He was the son of G.A. Paul my G/F. Laura died before Kirby but I don't have dates. I believe Laura was a couple of years older than Kirby. I'll try to get more info.
