I'm also looking for a Byrd family for this same time period. The area caught my eye. My grandmother was a Tate, b. in Hancock Co. Tenn, but mother from Lee Co. VA. Supposedly her grandfather Tate was married to a Byrd. Next to him at a small cemetery is buried Rev. Peter A. Byrd b. Dec 14 1858 in VA. Peter's wife was Nancy Cornelia Byrd b. Oct 17 1868. My dad pointed to the grave and said it was his grandfather's as was the Tate. It just doesn't quite compute somehow. Both of these men were traveling preachers and it has been hard to find much of anything about them. Just happened to stumble on a cousin from my grandmother's maternal line that let me know what specific area of VA the family was from. There is another Byrd, also a Rev. buried down the hill from Peter Byrd that may also be a relation but I can't find the names and date right now. The cemetery is in Thornfield, MO.
