| Notes |
- This George Byars is a provisional son of John Byars. This family is presented as connected for the purpose of recording data that will prove or disprove their relationship. GST
George Byars is the earliest proven ancestor of a long line of descendants who lived in Granville Co., NC, from 1761, or earlier, until about 1835.
They are possibly related to the James Henry Byars-Peggy Gentry family of Louisa County, VA, but no firm link has been established. Some of the Granville Co. Byars may have come from Louisa County [1]
