I found A.M. Byrne living with his father in 1850 in Hinds, Ms,. and Tunica, Ms. He was living in Tunica, Ms. in 1860, but part of the 1860 census is apparently missing, could not find his name, but his father owned land there in 1860. In 1870, he was living in St. Mary's Parish and married to Sarah T. Walker, whose father was Marcus Walker. They had two children.

While he was in the 18th Ms. Cavalry, his father, R.H. Byrne, became quite ill and he contacted Senator Chambers and asked him if he could obtain a release for Andrew for 90 days to come home and help with the plantation. Senator Chambers did contact Jefferson Davis and got a 90 day release for Andrew. After the 90 day release, Andrew went back to the 18th Ms. Cav. and was with them til the end of the war.

Andrew and his wife were separated and she was trying to file some papers to get money from him. In the papers she stated that he died in 1885 in Ms., but she did not say where he was living.

Andrew's father was Ransom H. Byrne and had been a State Representative, so he was quite influential as well as quite wealthy, owned a lot of land and slaves in La.and Ms.

I would like to find out where Andrew went after the war, cannot find him anywhere in 1880.

Thanks for any help.
