The Byrd family graveyard is located on the East side of West Road 
approximately ¼ mile North of the West Salisbury Elementary 
School. Drive North to Jaqulene Drive and turn right. Drive to the 
first bend in the road. The graveyard is located in a small stand 
of trees behind the houses on the left side of the road, about 50 
yards from the street.
 The graveyard was overgrown and has a number of fallen trees. 
Most of the headstones have fallen. The survey was done by William 
H. Byrd and his son William on February 16, 2001 with the help of 
a list provided in the book Graveyards and Tombstones of Wicomico 
County by Jacobs. Much of the debris and many of the fallen 
branches were removed.
