!NOTE:I am not certain that Samuel Byrd (c1788) is the father of George Byrd, but George's son Samuel Carson Byrd (1841) was living with Samuel in 1860. That strongly suggests a close relationship (could be an uncle instead though!);

!NOTE:Maiden name PHILLIPS given on D/C of several of her children
I have her parents listed as Lazarus Phillips and Jane Garland. What is the source for that? It fits because Lazarus Byrd was living with Lazarus Phillips in 1860.;
