Biography

Extensive mtDNA testing has proven that those in the family who had information stating Caroline was a daughter of Thomas' first wife Maude, were indeed correct. Several of Thomas' daughter's mtDNA have now been fully sequenced as part of the Sullivan's Hollow DNA Project at FTDNA.

Caroline's estate is listed on the 1872 Land Tax List of Smith County, Mississippi as follows:

  • Byrd, Mrs. C., Estate - 80 acres described as the E 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 10, Township 10, Range 16 West.[1]
  • Byrd, Mrs. C., Estate - 200 acres described as the N 1/2 of the SE 1/4, the N 1/2 of the SW 1/4, and the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 11, Township 10, Range 16 West.[1]

She is buried in the Byrd Family Cemetery in Mize, MS. [2]
