Here is my Byrd line. Does anyone match? James L. Byrd (b. 1/5/1801) moved to Crawford County Indiana from Barnes County Kentucky. His father was Jonathan B. Byrd. His son was Aaron Byrd (b. 11/06/1826). James Byrd was married to Rachel Randall from Charleston, S.C. Their children were Aaron, Thomas, Abraham, Jonathan and a girl whose married name became Mrs. Jason Gill. After James Byrd was married to Rachel Randall (in Crawford County Indiana) they moved to Putnam County Indiana. Then in the summer of 1852 moved on to Cass County Iowa and pioneered the area. James L. Byrd had a grandfather who was in the Revolutionary War and served from start to finish, and is beleived to have been at the surrender of Cornwallis to General Washington. My Byrds went from Virginia to Georgia to Tennessee to Kentucky to Indiana to Iowa to Nebraska. I live in Salt Lake City and am trying to make some progress on missing pieces on this family. If you know of anything, please let me know. best wishes, Dale Byrd [email protected]
