Clara Ruddle, their son, John Byrd, b. 1759, d. 1829, m. Eleanor (?), their son, John M. Byrd, b. 1787, d. 1857, m. Susannah Bevin, their son, George Washington Byrd, b. 1835, d. 1897, m. Elizabeth Cartwright, their son, John Alva Byrd b. 1860, d. 1911, m. Nora Jane Sonner. It also states William and Thomas Byrd came to VA from England in the late 1600's and that Thomas Byrd and wife Mary/Maria Howlett had a son, Andrew Byrd who married Mary Ewing and they had a son, Abraham, who died in Calvert Co., MD in 1698-99. The above John M. Byrd was probably born in Bourbon Co., KY and lived in Todd/Christian Co., KY, Fayette Co., IN, Rush Co., IN and Wells Co., IN by 1850. He was in the War of 1812, Pvt. in KY Militia and died 7 April 1857 in Wells Co., IN.
