I have been researching these Byrds/Birds for 30 years and have tons of
information on them, please contact me personally.

> I am searching for the parents my 3 Byrds. I believe they may be the children of Thomas and Sada or Sadie Byrd.
>
> THIS HAS BEEN MY BRICKWALL FOREVER! If anyone can help me figure out if my Byrds belong to Thomas and Sada Byrd that would be great.
>
> I have found Thomas and Sadie Byrd/Bird in Marion County, Alabama and also Gilmores which my Lydia Byrd married.
>
> My 3 Byrds are brothers and sister.
>
> I have found some family trees on Rootsweb that show Thomas and Sadie and they show children, but not mine. But my 3 Byrds would fit in with these children.

> My Byrds are:
>
> Robert E. Byrd born February 22, 1829. Married Elizabeth Eddleman. On multiple censuses he states he was born in Mississippi, his father was born in Tenneessee and mother in Kentucky. This would work as Thomas was born in Tennessee and Sada in Kentucky!! I have found Robert in Izard County, Arkansas. He then moved to Parker County, Texas, Young County, Texas, then to Kent County, Texas and finally Scurry County, Texas.
>
> Lydia Ann Byrd born January 12, 1826 in Mississippi. Married Andrew Gilmore in Marion County, Alabama. They also moved to Izard County, Arkansas and then to Texas.
>
> A.J. Byrd born December 1830 in Mississippi. I have found him in Texas.
>
> I checked the Mississippi 1830 census records and found that Thomas had 3 white males under the age of 10. This would work for my Robert and A.J. Also he had 1 female under 10 and this would account for Lydia.
>
> Lydia was in Marion county, Alabama and married. This helps by putting her in the same 2 states with Thomas and Sada as they were also in Mississippi and both in Marion county, Alabama.
>
> My Robert E. Byrd had a son named Thomas. Lydia had a daughter named Sada. This helps my cause for my Byrds to belong to Thomas and Sada. I know Thomas is a common name, but Sada is more hard to find.
>
> I have checked the index of the Alabama 1840 census and Thomas is there, but I have not looked at the actual page for him with his family.
