I am looking for any census information for Thomas Bryd who was born in TN in 1852 in the 1860 and 1870 Federal Census for TN. I have no idea what county he would be in. According to the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census it states his father was born in AL and his mother in NC. I have not been able to find him any census schedule prior to the 1900 census. He may have also used Thos. for a first name. Last name could be spelled BIRD or BURD. Any help solving this 5 year mystery would be most wonderful. Paula Blaine, MN
