This name appears in most local written records as BYARD. However, some of the family members' grave marker inscriptions show the spelling BAYARD, so Sexton's records copied from those markers reflect that spelling as well. The grave markers are mostly now either illegible or nearly so; they appear to have been difficult to read when they were consulted for the creation of entries in the Sexton's record and for the Autry.
Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book, Volume 2, shows in her Section H, Lot 96 (open lot on corner):
There do not appear to be entries for any of the graves in this lot in the listing from the 1943 Linwood survey by the Southern Mission of the LDS.
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), doesn't include sexton periodic reports for any part of the year 1847.
