John Byrd (Byrd) England was the son of Robert Lakey England and Martha Jane (Jane) Jones.  I have not yet found the surname of Byrd's wife Sarah.  Byrd and Sarah were buried in the Mount Union Baptist Church Cemetery in Fentress County, Tennessee.

Robert Lakey England was the son of my third great grandparents John England and Jane Peters.  As such, Robert was the brother of my second great grandmother Vesta Clay (Vestie) England.  So Bird England was Vestie's nephew, and he was the first cousin of my great grandmother Sallie Jane Cole.

I have not yet figured out how the Kennedy's fit into the family.  For example, were they connected to Bird or to Sarah, and was Loretta or Webb the connection?

Nina Lee Peters age 37 was the daughter of Wilburn Harvey (Harve) Peters and Mary Jane Todd.  Walter Gray Elmore was the son of Columbus Elmore and Elizabeth Catherine Elmore.

Wilborn/Welborn Harvey (Harve) Peters was the son of Henry Clark (Clark) Peters and Perlina Ann Shilling.

Perlina Ann Shilling was either 1/4 or 1/2 Cherokee, leading to the statement I have sometimes heard that "the Peters have Indian blood".  This particular line of Peters certainly did, but I do not believe that my Peters line did.

Clark Peters was the son of either Thomas Peters or of Thomas's brother Henry Peters Jr.  Both Thomas and Henry Jr.  were my fourth great grandfathers.  I am descended from three of their children through cousin marriages, namely John W. Peters, Zipporah Peters, and Jane Peters.

John W. was the son of Henry Jr., and Zipporah and Jane were daughters of Thomas.  Because Clark was the son of either Thomas or of Henry Jr., he was the brother of John W. and the first cousin of Zipporah and Jane, or vice versa.
