Savage Family History in Iron County by Kim Savage
William Oliver and Adeline (Shepherd) Savage
William Savage and his wife, Adeline Shepherd, were one of the first couples married in Iron County, Missouri when
the county was formed in 1857.
William came here from Decatur County, Tennessee and he was one of 8 known children of parents William and
Elvira Savage, originally from Nash County, North Carolina. As of current research, the younger William was the
only sibling to come to Missouri and settle here. Only two of the remaining seven siblings can be traced beyond 1850
and they both stayed in the Decatur County, Tennessee area. The elder William was the son of Drury Savage and had
3 known siblings: James, Elizabeth and Thomas who are fairly well documented and are being researched by fellow
descendants of Drury Savage.
Adeline Shepherd was originally from Anson County, North Carolina, one of 10 known children of Elias and Mary
(Taylor) Shepherd. Many of the youngest Shepherd siblings also married in Iron County around the same time,
including Elizabeth Shepherd married Reason Madison Gunnett, Ann Shepherd married Alexander Arthur and William
Henry Shepherd married Muhulda Reese.
William Oliver and Adeline (Shepherd) Savage had 6 known children:
1. William James Savage, still living in August 1898 according to his father’s pension application but no
additional information has been found for him.
2. Nancy A Savage - married James H Shepherd (her 1st cousin), had 2 children (Elisha & Vada [died in
infancy]), died by age 32, buried in Barton Cemetery in Reynolds County, MO
3. *Samuel Green Savage - married Susan Warlona “Lona” Smith from KY, had 14 children – More info
below. The name “Green” came from his mother’s brother, Green J Shepherd.
4. Mary E Savage - married William Ketcherside, died at age 16, buried at Glover Church Cemetery (Gravestone
is broken and is spelled Catcherside)
5. Henry Alexander Savage - married Maggie Mayberry, one known child who died in infancy, no other known
family, buried at Glover Church Cemetery in an unmarked grave next to his parents. (His name is on cemetery
map)
6. Margaret Elvira Savage - married Daniel Byrd Huff (who belongs to the Huff family that donated the land for
Huff Cemetery), had 7 known children (Ethel Jane, Adeline, Joseph William, Ada Delitha, Daniel George W,
Annie, John W), died by age 38, buried at Pilot Knob Cemetery
William O Savage served in the Civil War in the 29th MO infantry. He
was wounded when, as mounting his horse, his weapon discharged, the
bullet going through his right thigh. He also contracted a disease of the
eyes when fighting in the swamps of Mississippi. He was later a
member of the GAR (Grand Army Republic, similar to our modern day
VFW) in Iron County. William and Adeline are buried at the Glover
Church Cemetery in Iron County, MO.
==================================================
Samuel Green and Susan Warlona “Lona” (Smith) Savage
Samuel Green Savage was the only son of William & Adeline Savage to
produce Savage descendants (any Savages still in the area of Iron County came from his family.)
Susan Warlona “Lona” Smith was one of 9 known children of Alexander S and Susan (Hall or Joiner) Smith of
Page 2
Livingston County, Kentucky.
Sam G Savage married Susan W Smith on August 29th, 1888. At least 2 of Lona’s sisters were also married in Iron
County, MO: Rebecca “Becky” Jane Smith-Wadlow and Sophronia “Frona” Belle Smith-Tripp.
Sam & Lona had 14 known children:
1. William A Savage - died in infancy, buried at Big Creek Cemetery.
2. Ada Elizabeth Savage - married Houston E Thomlinson, had 6 known children (Zenoba, Morris, Mary
Susan, Muriel Josie, Philip Erastus, Rafe W), buried at AV Memorial Park
3. James Oscar Savage - died in infancy, buried at Big Creek Cemetery
4. Adeline Savage - married James Oliver Gunnett, had 4 known children (Dorothy May, Dora Marie,
Doyle James, Deola), buried at Big Creek Cemetery Elva Armildia Savage - mother of Carl O’Dell
Savage. Married Earl J Hendrix, had 1 other known child (Daisy Mae), buried at AV Memorial Park
5. Effie May Savage - married Edward J Swaringim, had 3 known children (Clifford [died in infancy],
Clayton Henry, Samuel Edward), buried at Big Creek Cemetery
6. Samuel Herbert Savage - married Ruby May Warren, had 5 known children (Jessie Kennith [died in
infancy], Almajene, Herbert Hairlin, Mary Ruth, Herschel Delmar), buried at Big Creek Cemetery.
7. Bessie Jane Savage - married (1) Harce Joseph Tindell, had 4 known children (Joseph, Lester, Mac,
Tyrrell), (2) Oscar Meadows, had 6 known children (Golda, Edward, Billy Elmo, Carroll Lee, Jimmy Ray,
Mattie Neoma [died in infancy]), buried at Union Cemetery in Dowdy, Arkansas

buried at Big Creek Cemetery.
10. Howard Savage, twin of Hadley - died in infancy, buried at Big Creek Cemetery.
11. Ruth Susan Savage - married Walter S Sutton, had 3 known children (Helen, Gary Lee [died in infancy],
Susan), buried at Huff Cemetery
12. Otis Richard Savage - married Florence Etta Sutton, had 3 known children (Betty Jean, Herbert
Richard, Robert Lee), buried at Big Creek Cemetery
13. Paralee Emma Savage - married Robert O'Connor, had 3 known children (Dorothy, Judy, Patricia), buried
at Rose Lawn Memorial Gardens, Bethalto, IL
14. Paralee Emma Savage - married Robert O'Connor, had 3 known children (Dorothy, Judy, Patricia), buried
at Rose Lawn Memorial Gardens, Bethalto, IL
Sam & Lona also raised several of their grandchildren, including Carl Savage and Joe, Mac & Lester Tindell. These
boys were all close in age to Sam & Lona’s youngest children – the boys’ aunts & uncles. Many of Sam and Lona’s
grandchildren called them Poppy & Lonie. Poppy had nicknames for many of his grandkids and great-grandkids as
well including “Big Boy”, “Little Big Boy” and “Little Boy”.
Sam was mainly a farmer but also worked in a lumber yard and was an election official. He liked pumpkin pies,
especially the ones baked by his grandson’s wife, Mable Savage and liked to eat his meals on a metal pie plate with
only a butter knife (even peas). Sam was also quite a character. He once came to visit family with his shoes on the
wrong feet. When this was pointed out to him, he just crossed his feet , said “no they’re not!” and then laughed about
it for the rest of the visit.
Sam lived to be 93 years old. His 90th birthday party was held in Hogan, MO at the home of Carl Savage in 1958.
Carl, who had a sawmill behind his home, used lumber from the sawmill to make tables for the party, held in their
Page 3
side yard. This party was attended by nearly all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Lona died in 1946 and Sam died in 1961. They are both buried at Big Creek Cemetery, just south of the Asarco plant in
Glover, Missouri.
Many of the Savage descendants still live and work in Iron County today.
Much more additional information and specific dates are available and I would be honored to share additional details
with anyone who is researching the Savages in Iron County.

William Carroll Byrd family in Iron County by Dr. Kenneth E. Byrd1
William Carroll Byrd (b. Aug. 23, 1815 in Stewart Co. TN) was the oldest son of John Wesley "Jack" Byrd (b.
Jan. 1792; Washington Co. GA - d. July 3, 1866; Stewart Co. TN) and Luna Louisa Brigham (b. 1797; Sullivan Co., TN. -
d. Dec. 5, 1875; Stewart Co. TN); see: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/18125862/john-wesley-byrd
William Carroll Byrd married Margaret Elizabeth Jackson (b. Sept. 22, 1827 in Sumner Co. TN) in Calloway Co.
KY on Mar. 7, 1844 across the Tennessee River from his home on Byrd Creek, Stewart Co. TN. Margaret was the oldest
daughter of Alexander Dameron Jackson (b. May 7, 1797 Nottaway Co. VA ‐ d. Apr. 15, 1886 New Concord, Calloway
Co. KY) and Margaret E. Stalcup (b. Nov. 9, 1797 Smith Co. TN ‐ d. Sept. 8, 1886 New Concord, Calloway Co. KY);
see: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24285932/alexander-dameron-jackson
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24285945/margaret-jackson
Carroll and Margaret's first two children, Alfred Marion Byrd (b. ~1847) and William Conley Byrd (b. ~1849)
were born in Stewart Co. TN, probably along Byrd Creek in District 8. On April 3, 1849 William Carroll Byrd sold 50
acres of his land in District 8 of Stewart Co. TN to Frances W. Marberry and moved his family to the area of Brunot, in
then Wayne (later Iron) Co. MO where the rest of his children were born: George Washington Byrd (b. Apr. 19, 1851
Wayne Co. MO), John Alexander Byrd (b.~1853 Wayne Co. MO), Martha Ann Byrd (b. ~1855 Wayne Co. MO), Andrew
Jackson Byrd (b. Mar. 29, 1857 Pilot Knob, Iron Co. MO), Louisa Catherine Byrd (b. ~1859 Iron Co. MO), Carroll
Jefferson Byrd (b. ~1861 Iron Co. MO), and Margaret Elizabeth Byrd (b. ~1862 Iron Co. MO).2
A General Land Office document dated Oct. 2, 1854 indicates that William Carroll Byrd had also received a
Military Land Warrant (No. 35142 for 40 acres) near Brunot and assigned to him by his father-in-law, Alexander
Dameron Jackson – a War of 1812 veteran (Private, Captain Holder’s Company, North Carolina Militia). This assigned
land to William Carroll Byrd was located near Brunot (“South half of Lot number two, of the North West quarter, of
Section six, in Township twenty nine of Range five, East, in the District of Land subject to sale at Jackson, Missouri…”)
[see next page].
William Alexander Jackson, the younger brother of Margaret Elizabeth Jackson and the brother-in-law of William
Carroll Byrd, received a GLO Land Patent on July 1, 1857 near Patterson, Wayne Co. MO for 200 acres. He then
obtained another GLO Land Patent for an additional 120 acres on Oct. 30, 1857 [see next page].
A March 18, 1858 Iron County land deed (Iron County Record Book A, page 551) also documents the transfer of
40 acres in Iron County from James and Mary Chilton “…of the County of Wayne…” to William Carroll Byrd; this in
consideration of $500. 3 Two additional land patents were awarded to William C. Byrd. One on April 1, for 86.76 acres
for land located near WSW of Mudlick Mountain, near modern-day Camp Lee and Woods Cemetery and another one on

Robert Payne Byrd, the younger brother of William Carroll Byrd, married Mary Catherine Callaway in Arcadia,
Iron County, MO on September 25, 1857, after he had moved to Missouri from District No. 8, Stewart Co. TN; no doubt
with the encouragement of his older brother living near Brunot in Wayne (later Iron) County. Sometime after his
marriage, Robert Payne Byrd moved to Fredericktown, in Liberty Township of Madison County, MO; he and his wife
Catherine were listed as living here in the Federal census taken on June 14, 1860 (page 55, dwelling #400, family #400).
Interestingly, he apparently gave his place of birth as Kentucky rather than the correct Tennessee. His older brother
William Carroll Byrd, living near Brunot in now Iron County, MO also gave his place of birth as Kentucky in the 1860
census -- perhaps a reflection of the increasing sectional tensions between North and South states during this time?
During this turbulent time in United States history (not unlike what we currently experience in modern-day
America), a series of mysterious land transactions occur between William Carroll Byrd and his neighbors in Iron County.
The first dated December 7, 1860 between William Carroll Byrd and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd to David
W. Shaver documents the sale of 170 acres.4 The next occurs March 23, 1863 where David W. Shaver and his wife
Elisabeth Shaver sell this same land back to William Carroll Byrd for the “…Sum of One Dollar received to our full
satisfaction….”.5 Then, on the same day William Carroll Byrd and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd sold this
land (230 acres) to Charles M. Roberts for $278.6
The above land transactions by William Carroll Byrd and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd between
1860-1863 in Iron County have been interpreted by some as reflecting the possible service of William Carroll Byrd in the
Confederate Army, or at the very least his sympathy for the Southern cause. There was a William C. Byrd in Co. F, 8th
Arkansas Infantry who enlisted in Pocahontas, Arkansas and WIA at Peach Tree Creek outside Atlanta GA in 1864;
unfortunately there is no home address or age information for this soldier.
In addition, Iron County historians have indicated that David W. Shaver was supposedly a well-known Southern
sympathizer in the area and that the practice of “holding land” for a minimum payment (one dollar) was often done for
those more active supporters of the Confederacy. Robert Payne Byrd, the younger brother of William Carroll Byrd did
enlist in the Confederate army and served as a Private in Company F of Colonel James White’s 3rd (later 9th) Missouri
Infantry, CSA on August 2, 1862. This occurred after the Battle of Fredericktown in Madison County, MO on October
21, 1861 and after the issuance of General Order No. 19 by Union General Schofield on July 22, 1862; this edict ordered
all able-bodied Missourians to report for service in the Federal army within six days -- thus effectively forcing any neutral
Missourians to choose between the Union and the Confederacy. More details re the CSA service of Robert Payne Byrd
and his fate can be seen at http://www.civilwarstlouis.com/gratiot/robert-payne-byrd-by-kenneth-byrd/.
Yet another younger brother of William Carroll Byrd served in Confederate armed forces back in Stewart County
TN; George Wesley Byrd was a Private in Captain Taylor’s Company B, 1st Tennessee Artillery. He was captured at Fort
Henry on Feb. 6, 1862 by Union forces under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant. For more details re George
Wesley Byrd’s CSA service see:

http://www.tngenweb.org/stewart/150thAnnivFortHenry.pdf Ironically, U.S. Grant also commanded Federal forces
which earlier raided Brunot and impacted William Carroll Byrd’s immediate family (see below).
The brother-in-law of William Carroll Byrd, William Alexander Jackson also served in the Confederate forces.
He served as a Private in Captain Holmes’ Company B, Clardy’s Battalion Missouri Cavalry and was surrendered by CSA
Brigadier General M. Jeff Thompson to Union Major General G.M. Dodge on May 11, 1865 at Wittsburg, Arkansas,
being paroled there on May 25, 1865. He then swore another oath of allegiance to the United States in Memphis, TN on
May 30, 1865. Very little information is known about his service in Clardy’s Missouri Cavalry, but it is thought that the
unit operated as a partisan (guerrilla) unit and participated in CSA General Sterling Price’s 1864 invasion of Missouri.
William Alexander Jackson returned to live near his parents in Calloway County, KY after the war – suggesting his
possible activity as a Missouri partisan/guerrilla and post-war ostracism by pro-Union neighbors in the Patterson, Wayne
Co. MO area where he lived. William Alexander Jackson died in 1911; see:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24802993/william_a.-jackson .
Lastly, William Carroll Byrd appears on a List of Lands and Lots in Iron County, MO for which taxes are due and
unpaid for the years 1861 through 1865. This may reflect not only his absence during those years but possibly his pro-
Southern activities. A family story recorded by his grandson, Rev. James Elburn Byrd Sr., (b. Feb. 7, 1886 Ravenden
Springs, Randolph Co. AR ‐ d. Jan. 8, 1966 Phoenix, Maricopa Co. AZ) may be related to this non-payment of Iron
County taxes: "....grandfather had a pen full of fat hogs with which to make the final payment on his farm. But one day a
squad of northern soldiers were out foraging for food and discovered the fat hogs. They tore down a corner of the pen and
drove the fat hogs away. One of the hogs broke a leg while crossing a river bridge one mile from the farm and the Yankee
soldiers were nice enough to return the crippled hog which they promptly butchered and consigned the smoke house."
This Byrd family story above does have some historical truth supporting it; on Aug. 15, 1861 then Brigadier
General U.S. Grant and based out of Ironton, sent two Federal infantry regiments on an expedition to Brunot, against
suspected Confederate sympathizers in the area and arrested several neighbors of William Carroll Byrd and Margaret
Elizabeth Jackson Byrd at that time. Although drawn for Southwest Missouri, the rendition by Robert O. Sweeny (shown
below) would seem applicable to the interactions between Union soldiers and pro-southern civilians in Iron County.
Page 8
There is no known documentation for William Carroll Byrd and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd after
March 23, 1863. Margaret apparently died sometime between then and when William married his second wife, Chloe
Davis Looney in Walnut Hill (near Ravenden Springs), Randolph Co. AR; this occurred on Christmas Eve, 1868. Prior to
that event, on Oct. 19, 1867, William Carroll Byrd purchased 160 acres at Ring, NW Randolph Co. AR from John and
Hannah Canada of Lawrence Co. AR.
On June 1, 1870 William Carroll Byrd of Randolph County AR sells his remaining land back in Stewart County
TN to his younger brother, George Wesley Byrd; this land was previously owned by his father John Wesley “Jack” Byrd
and grandfather Shadrack Byrd. This land in then District No. 8 of Stewart County, is along Lick (now Byrd) Creek
which flows into the Tennessee River. This document (Stewart County land deed, Roll 75, Book 25, pages 420-421)
confirmed the familial origins of William Carroll Byrd to the Stewart County Byrds that lived along the Tennessee River
since the early 1810s. See: http://www.tngenweb.org/stewart/family/byrd.htm
Probate court documents indicate that William Carroll Byrd died in Randolph Co. AR, sometime during 1875;
like his first wife, Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd, the exact time, place, and burial site are also unknown at this time.
He is not buried with his second wife, Chloe David Looney in the Yadkin Cemetery, Randolph County, Arkansas;
speculations are that he is perhaps buried with his first wife, Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd somewhere in Southeast
Missouri or Northeast Arkansas – sadly, no documentation has yet been discovered. It is hoped that this Byrd family
history document may help historical and genealogical researchers in locating this information.
A possible image may exist for William Carroll Byrd and his second wife, Chloe Davis Looney [shown below]
that might have been taken in Randolph County, Arkansas during the 1870s sometime before he died. Confirmed images
for two of his children with Margaret Elizabeth Jackson Byrd do exist for Martha Anne Byrd Looney (b. Mar. 4, 1855 – d.
Nov. 17, 1942) and for her younger brother Andrew Jackson Byrd (b. Mar. 29, 1857 Pilot Knob, Iron Co. MO - d. Apr. 1,
1930, Morris Ranch, Gillespie Co. TX).
