Hi Marty -

yup, A.J. Byrd was the first cousin of my gg-gf and his brothers. They all shared Shadrack Byrd (1750-1815) as their grandpa. Check out this URL for more info:

A researcher in Oklahoma was trying to locate A.J.'s grave in Granite, OK several years ago for a listing of CSA vets. I was never able to provide him the info re location, etc. If you can, it would be nifty to post the location on the Indian Nation (Oklahoma) CWMB sometime?

I never interacted with your mother; wish I could have met her. Am guessing A.J. Byrd and James Hicks definitely interacted together while in Co. F of the 50th Tenn. Infantry.

Will check things out tonight at home and post my finding tomorrow....!!!

yer cuzz,

Ken
