I am looking for information about John Bird, Jr., b. about 1754 Duplin, NC, died about 1840 Dale Co., AL. Married second Elizabeth Neel. Possible sons, Green Byrd, Isham Byrd, and a daughter. Probably other children. I need proof of parentage of Green. Green married Mary "Polly" Archer, the widow of Gideon Jones of South Carolina. John was presumably the son of John Byrd, b. ca 1725, Bertie Co., NC. m. Catherine King. He died about 1761, Duplin Co., NC. John (1725) had children John, Jr., Bethiah, Celia, and Michael. I have been told that John (1725)'s father was William Byrd, b. ca 1704, m. Jean Bell. His father (I was told) was John Byrd, Jr. b. ca 1698 in VA. m. in Berkley NC to Rebecca Sutton Peterson. John Byrd, Sr. of VA was his father. Any assistance appreciated. Betty
