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.)
