SAMUEL1 BIRD was born Abt. 1808 in North Carolina, and died Aft. 1860. >He married NANCY Abt. 1834. I am seeking the ancestry of a Susan(nah) Byrd, b. probably ca. the early 1790s, m. Jacob Honeycutt (b. 1789) of Buncome and Yancey Counties, N.C. I have one account that describes her parents as Sam and Polly (probably "Mary") Byrd--but no further information. It's possible she was an older sister of your Samuel Bird (despite the alternate spelling). We do have the same state and the common given name Samuel involved. I have found other Samuel Byrds in Yancey County--but in later years. Tom Tom Camfield - [email protected] 538 Calhoun Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368 Nov Schnoz Ka Pop?
