I saw your post on the BYERS list and hope you can help me. The information I have is from the 1860 Greene Co., AR census. Green D. BYERS was born about 1837 in SC. Family lore is that 11 or 13 or 3 brothers came from Scotland/Ireland. We do not know the parents or siblings of Green D. Byers. He was a confederate Capt. and was killed during the civil war. I suspect that the first name GREEN was a family name. There were many Byers in Alabama at one time. I don't know if this means anything. Any help in finding the parents will be appreciated.
