I am not related to the Bird/Byrd family but have this info from 1850 census for Platte Co. MO. I just happened to be working on the 'Abraham Byrd' on this list, son of Mounce and a Rachel. THAT Abraham Byrd I can tell you married Mary Permelia Kerr, the daughter of James Kerr and Alice (Elliott) Kerr who lived in Platte Co MO and are buried in the McComas Cemetery there (on Find a Grave). That Abraham Byrd died in Zavala Co TX where they moved and is buried in Loma Vista Cemetery, Zavala Co TX where he died Sept 3 1893.
WHEN I was working on this one marriage I used the advanced google BOOK SEARCH. If you've never done it, try using it (different than just a google search). When I entered Mounce Bird and also Mounce Byrd UP POPPED tons of old digitized documents which said who was who and who married who, and names of 8 heirs and their spouses, etc. I think it might help you. I didn't use KY or VA, just the two words Mounce Bird and Mounce Byrd.
