I'm trying to find out about my gg-grandfather, James A. Byrd (b. 1/21/1827, m. 1853 -Elizabeth Jane Seeders, d. 7/4/1881) who moved to Arkansas from North Carolina before the Civil War. He inlisted in the 8th Arkansas infantry in July 0f 1861 at the age of 36. His family is listed in the 1880 Arkansas census, but that is as far back as I've searched. He would have been 25 y.o. in 1850. If naming conventions hold true, he may have named one of his sons after his father, either Henry Thomas, Parks F. (my g-grandfather), William Edward or James. Do you have any research that might help? Thank you, Lance Byrd lbyrd1@pdq.net
