Surnames: Byrd, McClain, Stambaugh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UYB.2ACE/1416 Message Board Post: looking for descendants of Francis Byrd. As late as the 1950's it was believed his family lived near Ardmore, OK. He moved from Texas in the 1880's after marrying Ester Stambaugh. His parents were Mary McClain & James Jackson Byrd. He had 3 living siblings when he left Texas, Charles Monroe Byrd, Sarah E Byrd, & William Martin Byrd. His grandparents were Charles & Isabella McClain. Francis was born in 1860 in MO & the Byrd family moved to Texas shortly after that because they were Confederate supporters. If any of this sounds familiar plz reply. thnks Lisa
