the Byars I need are fairly recent: The one I need the most is William Byars b. Jun 1870 in Miss. and wed Margaret Elizabeth Caldwell who was b. in Aug.1873 in Calhoun co. Miss. They had three children I know of James A. 1897 , Andy Mae1898, and Osie H.1900. These folks lived in Miss. and I don't think they left. I don't know, but guess he is related to William Cuton Butterfield Byars who is related further back in this family tree. He was b. 17 Jan.1834 in S.C. and d. 20 Feb.1926 in Calhoun Co.Miss. He wed Elizabeth Minerva" Eliza" McGuire who died in 1874 in Calhoun Co. Miss. and also to Susan Emma Patterson b. 1849 in ala. She was his 2nd wife. The only children I have for this William are Rosa L. , Wm. Randloph, John Raleigh, Joseph and an infant son. Any clues on Calhoun County Byars families are welcomed. susan Moochsw@aol.com wrote: > I have all the Byars information that I would like to share with anyone who > might be interested in doing their Byars Family Tree.
