Biography
This profile is a conflation of several profiles, not supported by documentation and not a real person .
Disambiguation
There is no documented link with William Bird and Brigetta Huling and the purported subject of this profile, John Byrd of Spotsylvania, Virginia. The former were a Pennsylvania family with no known immigrants to Virginia. That relationship has been removed. The latter has three proven DNA descendants, none of whom link to this profile.[1]
The children of this profile also appear to be a hodge podge of several distinct and separate Byrd families grouped together under a common fictional ancestor. They are not being removed, however, as they are largely duplicates of existing profiles and may contain some information of value suitable for merging.
Research Notes
DNA cannot determine descent from John Byrd of Spotsylvania Co. with such small sample sizes. But testing amongst various descendants associated with this profile with the three known descendants reveal:
- a valid match[2]with M510844, a descendant of William Simmons Bird/Hannah Michael[3]
- a valid match with A373186, a descendant of Malinda Jane Byrd/Jacob Waggoner[4]
- no matches with WS9642037, a descendant of William Simons O. Bird/Melinda Cain
Larger sample sizes are needed. Documentary evidence that links the family to Spotsylvania, Louisa Co. and/or Prince Edward Co. would likewise be helpful.
