Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tx/Bowie/10573 Surname: BYRD ------------------------- I have a Byrd called Mollie -she was born Mary Francis LOVELADY in Mineola(?)Texas in 1856. She married someone named BYRD, but I do not know the husbands full name. Last known address is on a pension file application for her sister Rhoda Lovelady Burns in 1924. Mollie states that she lived in Empire City OK. Stevens County. This family had strong ties to the RR and moved about frequently. I wonder if we could have a connection? Kay Bradley
