Byrd and Sarah's daughter, Mariah Catherine, was my 2nd great grandmother. She married John B. Wilson. Mariah passed away in Pashmataha County, Oklahoma on September 5, 1924. My mother said relatives who knew her said Mariah was all or part Chickasaw and perhaps part Choctaw. The fact that Byrd and Sarah named one of their sons Wisener Byrd makes me wonder if Wisener is an ancester's surname. Wisener isn't a very common name. I'd like to know if any decendents of Byrd and Sarah have had the DNA test for native american ancestry...That might help narrow the search. The family certainly is "mysterious" They seem to come out of no where except for Mariah, vanish completely in one generation. Randy Winton Ventura, CA
