I do not have a Winna Joanna Byas in my direct line, but my g-g-g grandfather was A(bram) L(andus) Byas. He migrated to Bienville Parish, LA in the 1840s with his brothers and parents. His mother was Winnafray Cooper which I think might be the source of your "Winna". Winnafray was married to Robert Byas they both supposedly died in LA. In the 1860s AL and sons moved on to Tarrant County, Texas. If you would like more info. Contact me directly at davidoliversmith@sbcglobal.net

Surnames: Byas Byassee

Caswell County North Carolina is Northwest of Raleigh or Chapel Hill where we now live. We have some information about a Byassee ancestor in Caswell County NC in the early 1800s.

I suspect we are related, because many old documents I've seen have Byassee written in such a way that the see are diminished in size and the name easily could have morphed into Byas.

There is some Byas names in some of the old census data that are listed Byas sometimes and Byassee sometimes.

Best of luck and let me know what you might learn and want to share.

I'm very interested in any info you have on James A. Smith & Winna Joanna Byas...they were my gr-gr-grandparents.

I have some information..such as marriage, children..etc.
Still looking for death date & place on both. I wasn't aware of a second marriage for James. Very interesting..
