Robert Lee Byrd married Ruth Mae Harrison. Can someone tell us about Byrds in Texas. How they got here and from where? How we came about having this name, by slavery or an interacial relationship? Robert Lee Byrd has passed but his wife Ruth survives with four generations under her. One year my husband and I went on a casino bus tour to Biloxi,Miss.,and the marquis of the hotel that we stayed at said Byrd family reunion
We did not know any of them and they did not know any Byrds from Texas, but we took some pictures together just in case some of our relatives recognized any of them.
