--part1_8c0f0eb.243cdd15_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Fellow Byrd Researchers: I received the following pasted below from my Faulkner/Fortner cousin and was wondering if any of you could enlighten me (us) on this Byrd connection. He knows that I have been looking at Byrd/Filmers and we have Faulkner/Filmers of the same Filmer family in London England. Wm Byrd I of Westover married Maria Horsemanden, widow I think of either Robert or Edward Filmer, related to Elizabeth Filmer below (Glenda or whoever can correct me on the Wm Byrd/Filmer connection if I got it wrong.). I have a personal interest as well. I have worked more than 20 years with a many who was married to Westwood Byrd, granddaughter of Harry Flood Byrd below. He also has bought a new Byrd family book??? and said he would share it with me. FYI, if any of you live in or around the District of Columbia, the Westy/Westwood Byrd who is on the DC School Board is this person. We Faulkners not made the connection between our original immigrant and the Faulkner/Filmer below, but shall I say several are working very hard on it: 1. ???Maybe..This is what everyone is working on ...William Faulkner +Elizabeth Filmer married February 6, 1620, St. Benets, London (see: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/a/r/Ken--Parker/index.html for more info).????? 2. John Faulkner ENG>Talbot/Queen Annes Md +Elizabeth______ 3. Francis Faulkner Talbot/Queen Annes MD +______________ 4. John Faulkner Talbot/Queen Annes, MD +Sarah Ford 5. Emanuel Falkner b. Talbot/Queen Annes>d. Iredell Co.NC +Elizabeth Dickerson/Dickinson 6. Sugar Fortner -- b. Warren Co. NC> d. Greene Co. TN +Priscilla Robinson 7. Jacob Fortner (Green Co. TN) +Elizabeth Chambers (Greene Co. TN) 8. Elizabeth Fortner b. Greene Co. TN, died Dade Co MO 1914 +Thomas Marshall b. & d.Greene Co MO 1860 9. Ruth Marshall + Joseph Alexander Sexton both b. Greene Co. and d. Dade. co MO 10. Charles Cebrin Sexton (Dade Co MO + Lucy Belle Marsh (Dade Co MO). Lucy was the daughter of Wm. Michael Marsh and Casselia Bird. Casselia was the daughter of Henry Byrd and Lucinda Choate. Henry Byrd was the son of John Byrd and Nancy Couts of Robertson/Sumner Co TN. 11. Marjorie Lee Sexton +Herbert Hill Baugh 12. Me. So...does anybody know the Faulkner/Byrd (Boyd) connection below. Thanks in advance.

VA.) 1887-1899 Born September 21, 1847, at (Boydville) Martinsburg, Va. (Now West Va.) Parents: Charles James Faulkner (1806-1884), a distinguished lawyer, statesman, and soldier, who among other things was a member the Virginia Military Institute Board (1848--52): member of congress, Minister To France; and on Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson's staff; and Mary Wagner Boyd. Grandparents: Major James Faulkner, a native of Ireland, who commanded the American forces at Craney Island, Va., in 1813, and Ann Mackey,a daughter of Capt. Andrew Mackey, a member of the Society of the Cincinnati. Gen. Elisha Boyd, a soldier in the War of 1812, afterward prominent in state militia affairs and the builder of the family homestead, "Boydsville" near Martinsburg; and Ann Holmes. Our subject, Charles James Faulkner received his preparatory education in private schools in Ellicott City, Md., then in Paris (France); and Geneva, (Switzerland) while his father was US Minister to France. He matriculated at VMI, September 1, 1862, from Martinsburg, and was admiited to the 5th class and was a cadet private in Co. B. Many letters in the official files tell of his meritorious conduct as the cadets were instrumental in the defeat of the Northern Army in the battle of New Market. So struck by his composure and bearing was General J.C. Breckenridge that he made Faulkner his aide and afterwards to General Henry A. Wise, surrendering with that officer at Appomattox. His honors are so many that the election to the Senate will suffice. He was elected as a Democrat on March 4, 1887 and again in 1893. his time in the Senate was well spent as was his life and he was known in his state as " The Grand Old Man of Berkely County". Senator Faulkner died January 13, 1929 at "Boydville', the place of his birth. NOTES: (His great-nephew, Harry Flood Byrd, has recently been appointed U.S. Senator from Virginia) FAULKNER was born before West Virginia was separated from Virginia. Married: Nov. 6,1869, Sallie, daughter of John and Elizabeth Winn of Charlottesville. They had five children: Charles Pierce Faulkner, (1870-1908) VMI 1893 Jane Winn, wife of Dr. Wm White, Nashville, Tenn Mary Boyd, wife of Edgar N.
