I am looking at my copy of "Byars Family History" Copyright 1976 by Nell Byars Thaten. The binding was by Worth Bindery, Ft. Worth, Texas 76107. Published by Miran Publishers, Fort Worth, Texas 76116. It is a soft cover book, about the size of a sheet of paper folded in half. It has 185 pages, an Index,appendix and a Table of Contents. It brings Nell's "Byars Family" from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and to Texas.
The first known ancestor is Jonas Byars b. ca 1718. Jonas married Francis Collins. Two known children are named in the book.
# 1. William Byars, who m Elizabeth Bedford.
#2. Henrietta Byars, who married Joel Blackwell, the only known child for them was Mary Blackwell.
Mary Blackwell married Richard Arnold and they had the following children:
(1) Rebecca Arnold
(2) Joel Arnold
(3) John Arnold
(4) Benjamin Arnold
(5) Richard Arnold
(6) Henrietta Arnold, m. Joab Byars
(7) Cinderella Arnold
(8) James Arnold
(9) Sally Arnold
(10) Daniel Arnold
(11) Nathaniel Arnold
(12) Thomas Arnold
(13) Alfred Arnold.
Nell stated it was possible there was one or more children, names unknown to her.
William Byars , son of Jonas Byars and Frances Collins Byars, married Elizabeth Bedford, daughter of Jonas Bedford and Amasa "Mercy" Raymond. Mercy was a descendant of a man the signed the Mayflower Compact.
As I said before the book is well written and contains copies of Wills, Marriage Records and many pictures. Nell was a very thorough researcher. She and several other Byars Descendants worked together to accumulate documents for any person named Byars/Byers or a variant of the name. All of those people have passed away. If you cannot find a place to purchase the book then try to get your local Library to order it inter Library loan. Or you might try asking the LDS Library to put a copy on a CD and let you purchase it. Or if you can make contact with Nell Byars Thaten's children they may have copies for sell.
I will be glad to look up things for you, provided you can give me a Given Name as well as a Surname and a time period. My husband has a terminal illness and it may take me awhile to get back to you. I hope to put all the issues of the Byars - Byers Family Enquirer on a CD in the near future. There are 22 issues that answers the questions many of you are asking now. cbh

- My ggg grandfather Jonas Byars, proven son of Wm./Elizabeth also migrated to St. Clair Co., AL about the same time as Abraham/Mary. I noticed that both gave VA as birth then later NC. It is possible that they were born in VA.
