    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Physical Description: Semi-disabled
    • Research Notes: Found verification of death on 2 Oct 1844. A document from 10/1/1844 transferring assets to his children is in the Jackson County records department, and I hope to be able to transcribe my photos of it at some point. The date used in my records comes from another tree on Ancestry.com. DNA tests and comparison with descendants from other children of John Byrne of Windham, CT (notably descendants of Samuel Hazard Byrne), indicate George was not a biological child of John. Whether he was a son of Ann Powers is unclear.

    Notes:

    From History of Jackson Michigan: George Byrne settled in Jackson in 1838. He was elected register of deeds in 1840, and served two years. He also served very acceptably as justice of the peace for several years. His son, Gilbert R. Byrne, has been in the banking-house of Cooper, Thompson & Co., and with the Jackson City Bank for many years. He is now assistant cashier of the last-named institution.

    From A Modern History of Windham County Connecticut:

    Page 582: “First Baptist Church, WIllimantic… a number of bretheren met in council at the house of Elder Chester Tilden on Thursday, the 20th of October, 1827…. Brethren:…George Byrnes…Records of December 11, 1827, show that the first clerk of the church was George Byrnes.”

    Buried:
    Headstone incorrectly reads 1841, and was placed at some point in the 20th century, probably by either daughter Susan or Josephine, who have similar markers, and died in the early 1960s

    • Obituary: Obituary from the Jackson Weekly Citizen, 11-Jan-1887: Mrs. Sarah Byrne, who has been suffering from a stroke of paralysis for a week, died yesterday about noon at the residence of her oldest son, George G Byrne, 137 Maple avenue, aged 85. Being one of our oldest settlers, and the oldest member of the First Baptist Church of this city, a short biographical sketch of her long busy life will be appreciated by her legion of intimate friends and of interest to those who knew her but slightly. She was born at Lyme, Conn, Sept 24, 1801, of Puritan extraction, being a descendant of the celebrated Puritan leader, Cotton Mather. She experienced a change of heart in her girlhood and embraced the Christian religon, being baptized and connecting herself with the Baptist church at Pleasant Valley, Conn. She was married to George G Byrne at the residence of Erastus Corning, Esq., in Albany, N.Y. on Jan 23, 1828. The family moved to Brooklyn, this county, in 1837. Her husband being elected Register of Deeds for Jackson county on the Whig ticket in the fall of 1838, the family moved to this city when Mr. Byrne took his office, on Jan. 1, 1839, and have lived here since, a period of forty-seven years. On their arrival here, Mrs. Byrne and husband united with the First-Baptist Church. Mr. Byrne died in 1844, leaving his wife and five small boys to mourn the loss of a kind husband and affectionate father. Being a woman endowed with an abundance of spiritual strength, she reared her family of boys and has had the supreme pleasure, allotted to few, of seeing her children and grandchildren uniting with her church, and to hear great-grandchildren lisping the blessed truths of the gospel. She leaves a legacy to her descendants a beautiful Christian character. Her five sons are Gilbert R and George G of this city, Rufus H of Buffalo N.Y., (who is here to attend the funeral), Charles B., of Santa Cruz, Cal., and John H, who died in Jackson in 1878. The funeral will be held at residence, 137 Maple avenue, to-morrow (Thursday) morning, at 10:30.

    From A Modern History of Windham County Connecticut:

    Page 87: “In 1790 John Byrne of Norwich set up a printing press in the lower room of the courthouse, and early the next year produced the first newspaper of Windham County. It was called The Phenix, or Windham Herald. In a few years it had some twelve hundred subscribers, and made itself felt throughout the county. It was the medium for advertising of the first carding machine in the county, and was of great service during the War of 1812. “

    Page 443: “Shaw also had a faculty for handling skunks. A man by the name of Byrnes kept a store at the foot of the hill going up to the machine shop. One day Byrnes was behind the postoffice boxes at the end of the counter next to the outside of the store. Shaw came in, had a bag which he opened and out came four or five half-grown skuns. Byrnes screamed, ‘Take them out.’ ‘Give me two plugs tobacco.’ ‘No,’ but Byrnes hesitated. Shaw kept going up and finally the Indian got six plugs, and the men in the store had a good laugh.”

    Public activity:
    “Mr. Charles Tainer, is appointed Poll Master at Windham, Connecticut, in the room of John Byrne, Esq., removed”

    Both on Benjamin’s death notice in 1866 in Michigan and in the 1850 census the age given would indicate he was born around December 1770, not December 1774 as documented in Clara Stone’s Griffing genealogy record from 1881. The source of Stone’s assertion of 1774 as birth year is unclear, and remains an open question for me.
