James, I don't know of any byrds who moved from Sumter to AL. The Sumter County Byrds moved first to the Pearl River Area of MS. Part of the Byrd family from NC moved to AL. Redden Byrd of Dale county AL is from teh Lenoir County NC family of Bright Byrd. I haven't found a Dorcas Byrd yet amoung the Byrds of Sumter District. I have not tracked the NC Byrds past the time they moved into SC around 1767 when William Byrd and at least four of his sons moved into Sumter, William, John, George, and Sutton. I have been able to locate the names of Sutton's children and one of George's sons. There are many more Byrd's running around the three Rivers area of Darlington, Sumter and Williamsburg, and I haven't tied most of them to William's sons. I know that he had more children. One son Edward stayed in Bladen county NC. Deborah Byrd

Blanche, When you reread the book, I am interested in the following'surnames: Newsom Josey Moore McCoy McSween Blackwell Borkin Thanks - Pat

Does anyone out there have any information on Hutchinson or Barden. The Hutchinson's were suppose to be from Lake City, S. C. He worked on the railroad that ran through Sumter around the early 1920's. The Barden's were suppose to be from N. C. Several Barden's were in the Sumter area around the 1880' - 1890's time frame. Thanks for any leads. Jackie

Blanche, Would you check for Singleton, Haynsworth, Barden, James, Moore. Jackie

Sorry. I just check the accessions database, but the name doesn't appear.

Deborah, I know you and I have corresponded on this before. Could you send me the names of all of the Bryd family that moved from Sumter District to Autauga County during the 1830s to 1840s? As I have previously told you, Bryant Worrell moved from North Carolina to Sumter District circa 1820. He married Dorcas Byrd in either North Carolina or Sumter District. He then moved to Coosa County near the Autauga County line at about the same time as Redden Bryd. (I have been told there was a land lottery about this time.) Parts of Autauga County and Coosa County had been previously considered Indian Territory. To other members of the list: Is there a nickname or other name for "Dorcas"? (Mary was commonly called Polly during this period.)

Gene, Sorry but there is no mention of a Welch in his index, but if I find one I will let you know. Where? When? Blanche

Sherry, I am sorry but there is no mention of a Christmas in the book. Where did they live and in what period? I am rereading the book to make sure that there were't anymore named than he has in the index. Blanche

Deborah, Although the name Redden Byrd sounds familiar there is no mention of him or Hannah Scott in the book. Maybe it would be better if I just put out a list with some of the names in the index and in the body of his memoirs. It is not a large book but chock full of names, places and recollections. I am keeping all of the names anyone asks about and as I reread the book I will be on the lookout for them. Blanche

Does the book Mention Elizabeth d. 1848 in Autauga county AL she was in sumter in 1820's daughter Hannah Scott married md. REdden Byrd of Darlington County 1819.

I have a copy of the book Random Recollections of a Long Life by Edwin J. Scott, son of Roxanna Anderson and William Scott. It was published originally in 1884 and chronicles his long life. He was born in Sumterville in 1803 - in 1811 moved to Manchester, then to Camden, then to Columbia. In it he mentions many names and places. I will be happy to do any lookups for a mention of an ancestor. Blanche
