Joseph Eatman, b. 1846

Surnames: Eatman, Byrd, Lambert
I'm trying to find the parents of my gg-grandfather, Joseph Eatman Byrd, born Nov 1874, Georgetown County, SC. His mother was a Margaret (Maggie) Elizabeth Byrd, born Oct. 1856 in SC. She later married a William Lambert, and had about 5 other children. However, Joseph E. Byrd's father is unknown as of yet. I have run across a man named Joseph Eatman, (b. 1846 in NC) who boarded and worked as a turpentine distiller in nearby Kingstree, SC, in 1870. In 1880, he was in Charleston county, SC, also working as a distiller. The last record I find of him is in Charleston, 1889, city directory, as a bricklayer. I believe Joseph Eatman's parents were Alsey Eatman and Elizabeth Eatman, as he is found in their home in 1860 Census in Wake county, NW district, North Carolina. Anyone with information on this family, please contact me at rmd1019@yahoo.com
