I have worked up stories for the new Weakley Co. book on the Nicholas Byars family from Granville Co. NC and the Wesley Alexander Byars family. These were most likely 1st cousins. I am always willing to share information. Nicholas and crew were in the Cottage Grove area, and some of his children and Wesley Alexander, Alfred, etc. were in the Palmersville area of Weakley Co. (just across the county line.) -- Gail Shepard Tomlinson Senatobia, MS
