Biography
Son of David & Rachel Thrash Cole - he had 3 wives and at least 8 children - he fought in the Civil War.
Byrd Garland Cole is listed as a Early Settler of Walker County Alabama. Also is listed information about Rachel Cole and Nancy Louise Cole. It is listed that they married brothers from the Key family.[1]
Byrd Garland Cole was a pioneer settler in Walker County, Alabama and lived there most of his life. He was born in Buncombe County, NC, and married his first wife, Sarah Gudger, while he was there. It is unknown where she is buried. She may have died in Buncombe County, NC before Byrd moved to Alabama.
Byrd first appears in Alabama in the 1830 census in Limestone County. In 1840 he appears on the Walker County census and he remained in Walker County until his death. Byrd is believed to be buried on the property that he homesteaded near Sipsey in Walker County. His grave is unmarked if it is in this cemetery. Byrd's second wife may have been Billie Harrison.
