The name Walter Scott Byars does not ring a bell, but that doesn't mean anything. There are so many Byars names out there. One site on rootsweb that I have been looking at is in <worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com> site. One of the family tree pages is <Dillard/Webster>, which has a lot of information on Byars family. This is on the bottom of the page: < http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kschwend& id-I122>. check it out, could be helpful. If I find anything of interest regarding Walter Scott, will send it to you.
