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
