I wanted to thank everyone who has sent me information on BYRDs. You have all been so kind and generous. I am thankful for the names you gave me of BYRD researchers, for all the information you took time to look up, I treasure the beautiful photo that one dear one sent me; whether I make a connection or not...it is beautiful! I shall be on the lookout for that name in my searching to hopefully return the favor! Out of this query I posted came the name listed by a cousin as a possible name for the father of my William Frank BYRD 1870 - 1949 ~ who married Allie SESSIONS on February 06, 1895 Lafayette County, Florida [1875 -1927] these b/d dates, are the dates as copied from their headstones. The name my cousin listed as the father of William Frank Byrd was SABRAN/SEABRUN BYRD when I contacted her, she could not remember where this info came from as is was a long time ago when she was just beginning her research, so she could not verify it. Now, another cousin, on this information, found some names for me: SEABORN BYRD married Lucenda GAY on 04 Nov 1845 in Richmond County,Georgia. note: I will have to do some research on the old handwriting pages to try and decipher these middle initials below. SEABORN [J?, S?,? ] BYRD, Listed as an Invalid on a military record from the 1st FL Cav, widow listed as Mary [J?, G? L?,?], a minor was listed as Mary [L?, S?, ?] SUTTON? looks like the word "sister?" written beside her name. The following were on the 1850 Holmes County, FL Census: [no children listed] SEABORN BYRD age 20 born Alabama ELIZABETH BYRD age 20 born Georgia My question is: Do you have a SEABORN BYRD in your data files? If so, do you have a list of children for him? If so, is there a William or William Frank listed? Okay, that was more than one question. <VBG> Thanks to ALL of you for your kindness. Could there be THIS many SEABORN BYRDs? I Suwannee, another question. ;-) Sharon
