Surnames: Byars Byers Cope Calmese Bouland McGee Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QJH.2ACIB/228.3.1 Message Board Post: My grandfather was Paul Braden Byars, son of Thomas Smythe Byars and Sallie Clark Calmese. Thomas' sister, Martha Ada Byars, married Braden Noonan. I only have 1 child for them, Thomas Anderson Braden born 1884. This information is from my uncle and collaborated by a woman researching the Byars/Craft families. I would love to have more info on the descendents of Martha and Braden. I have to assume the families were quite close, given my granfathers' middle name.
