. My Grtgrdfather was Calvin G. Byers. According to the 1900 Census of Grayson Co., Texas, the info given by family after the death of Calvin in 1898 was that he was born in Georgia, his wife in Missouri. No proof....yet ! Calvin G. Byers was born ca. 1855-59 in Georgia. In ca. 1881 he is in Missouri somewhere and marries (Alice, Anna, Annie) Salmons. They have 4 ch. b. in Missouri and the 5th b. in Texas. Children are: Nancee Byrda Ethel, Marguerite, Robert David (R.D.), Clyde and Willie S. . I have been totally unable to locate Calvin anywhere except the place he died in Marshall, Texas where he was killed in a railroad accident while working for the T&P Railroad. He lived in Denison, Texas and apparently his wife was already deceased or "gone" as his children were then under guardianship of their maternal Grandfather, Robert C. Salmons. Can't find any info on his family either tho' census says he was b. Kentucky and his wife Margaret Chasten was b. Indiana. Sure in hopes this will sound familiar to someone. I have needed help/leads for a long time but am uncertain what to do. Thanks and my regards, Doris Kirschke Brown dkirschke@bellsouth.net
