I am in search of information for the William Byers listed on the following census 1900 census of Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Chelsea, Dist 19 William R. Byers, b. May 1862, 38 yrs, Married 11 yr, b. SC. Martha " Oct 1869, 30, mar. 11 yrs, 4 chil,3 living, b. GA Nora " Dec 1889, 10, b. GA Lizzie " Oct 1891, 8 GA Griffin " Jan 1898, 2, GA ............... 1910 Census, Oklahoma, Rogers Co, Chelsea Wm 48, mar 22 yr, b. SC, concrete worker Martha 40, mar 22 yr, 4 chil, 3 living, b. GA Griffin 11 b. GA Ruby Holland, g.dau, 2, b. OK ......... Feb. 1920 census Rogers Co, Chelsea Wm 56, b. SC Martha 50, GA Ruby Holland 11, OK ............ This William fits certain criteria for the William Byers in my family. All I know about him is that he was born in SC, as where his parents in 1862, his family moved to GA in 1867. Except for an obituary for his father listing him as still living I have no other information on him. I have an ancestor that used to tell a story of having an Aunt that was lived in OK (he says she was an Indian and lived on a reservation) and that when he was 8 (would have been about 1892) she tried to get him to come and visit her and his uncle but he never went. I would REALLY like to tie the William in the above census with my family, it would fill in a large hole. Is there anyone on the list that has any information on this family that might could help me tie them together. I realize that the wife is listed as white...BUT over the years I have seen the other cherokee women in my family and others listed as white. Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. If I CAN connect I am more than willing to share the Byers information that I have. Shannon Byers Lilburn, GA -- Do you love genealogy? Do you have a brick wall?
