Looking for info on this person.

What I know:

*1900 Census shows she was born in Tennessee, her mother was born in Tennessee, and her father was born in Mississippi. States born November 1880. She was living in McNairy, TN.
*TN marriage record shows married 24 Apr 1897 in McNairy, TN to John William Bird. John and Maggie had two children together, John Riley Byrd and Ella M Byrd (who died very young).

Kind of a strange end to her husband:


John Byrd Murdered
Tragedy Near Monrovia Last Saturday.
Robt. Johnson and Fred Stevens Charged of Murder Tried before Judge Stewart
News of the killing of John Byrd, a farmer, by Robert Johnson and Fred Stevens, reached the city from the Monrovia precint Monday morning. The two men came to the city after the killing and surrendered to Sheriff Rodgers, who had no warrant for them at the time. The sheriff told them to appear for preliminary trial before Judge Stewart in the afternoon, which they did.
It seems that Byrd has for sometime past been getting water from a well on Johnson's place and last Saturday afternoon when Byrd's boy went for the water, Johnson told him that he could get no more water as the well was getting low and liable at any time to dry. The boy returned home and told his father what Johnson had said to him. Byrd then got a bucket and a double barreled shot gun and said that he would go and get the water anyhow as he must have it. He was accompanied by his wife, son, father, and two or three others.
Johnson and his brother-in-law, Stevens, saw the party coming and armed themselves. When Byrd came within hailing distance they told him he must not come to the well. Byrd came on and leveled his gun at the two men who were standing in the door of Johnson's home. Johnson opened fire with a pistol, none of the bullets taking effect. Stevens then fired the shot gun and Byrd fell dead, riddled with shot. Byrd was shot twice.
Warrants for the arrest of Johnson and Stevens were sworn out by the dead man's father and a preliminary trial was held before Squire David Phillips, who held the men for further investigation.
Their preliminary hearing was held by Probate Judge Stewart Monday afternoon and Judge Stewart bound the defendants over to await the action of a grand jury. Their bonds were fixed at $1,000 and were made easily.
All parties to the tragedy are well known in the Monrovia neighborhood. They have many relatives in that locality and were all known as peaceable citizens.

After he died, she supposedly married a Smith.
