Byrd Trails and Richey
Trails, by Frank Miller Richey.
This short review will give notice
to our members of Frank Richey’s most recent contributions to SC
genealogy. Byrd
Trails enumerates the descendants of Darlington District resident William
Byrd (d. 10
March 1803). Richey
concentrates on the family of Byrd’s son (also named William
Byrd) and his wife Mary Griggs.
Ten children were born to this couple.
These ten
children married into numerous Darlington families including Griggs,
DeWitt, Mason,
and Hill families.
Richey Trails traces the descendants of Andrew W. Richey and Mariah
Park Sims Richey of Abbeville County, SC.
Andrew W. Richey was born 28 December
1819 and died 11 December 1862.
His wife was born 3 December 1823 and died 5
October 1859.
Five children were born into this family.
