Will share/exchange any info on this family. Andrew BYRD(BIRD)  & Isabel BRANCH were my GGParents. Andrew was b 8 Jul, 1835, Lowndes Co., Ga. (According to Civil War Pension File.) I believe Jessie E. BIRD may have been a brother to Andrew. Andrew BIRD and family moved to Orange Co, Fl. by 1880 Census and family remains in that area today. I believe this is the same Andrew BYRD who appeared in 1860 Liberty Co, Fl Census, Recoes BLUFF, p 23 with wife Angela (THOMAS) m Liberty Co., FL, 7 Sept. 1857; also in HH in 1860 Census: Thomas age 5 b FL, Mary age 1 b FL. I believe Andrew BYRD's parents to be: James A. BYRD b ca 1850, Ga. and Nancy (Unknown) b ca 1817, Ga. James A. BYRD  & Nancy found in 1850 Liberty Co, Fl Census, after which Jamse A. BYRDdisappeared. Nancy may have re-married John SOUTH b SC, though he was much younger than she. Any info on BYRD, BRANCH, THOMAS, SOUTH connections appreciated. Looking for James A. BYRD's parents. Looking for Isabella BRANCH's father (mother Anna). Whant happened to James A. BYRD?
