I have,on floppie-someplace- the servant Byard. And watch Bard -French as much as Bayard these days. "But" I have a book mentioning a NY city ad of 1750 of a Bayard selling a saw mill on the Mullica,or Little Egg Harbor river. Exact river where my James Leeds m Rhoda Byard. I got new data of an James and Leah - Parker, who seem,in NJ,and Clermont, near Timothy Curless. 20 years I have noted Isaac H Parker,on the 1870 and 1891 atlas, living on farm settled,1803, by Isaac and Sophia Somers Higbee,of the Mullica. Last night, I got smart enough to call him Isaac Higbee Parker. A Joseph Parker was trustee,1798 of a church on the Mullica with Isaac Higbee-a church that mostly moved from NJ shore to mid Clermont Co,Oh 1803 On Mon, 08 Jan 2001 21:17:39 -0800 Lance Beeson <lancebeeson@home.com> writes: > And Asher Curless named his son BYARD around 1806, not to be confused > with > the various forms of Abiah (his half-brother) who had grandsons > named Abiah, > Abier and Biar.
