This is a large and difficult family to piece together. Please keep in mind that this was is a WORKING copy only, as I have drawn conclusions in relationships that could be incorrect. I guessed at migration patterns due to an associate family named KITTERMAN. (I still need to spend some money at the Crawford and Harrison Counties courthouses, having them pull pertinent vital records, etc.). IF ANYONE SEES ANYTHING SUSPECT WITH THIS INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME!! Janet, I will write you privately for census lookups..I am most grateful and want thank you very much for your offer!

Hello all, I've been researching my family tree for years and recently my husband asked me to do a bit of work on his. I'm looking for any information on the BURD family tree. Thus far I don't know very little other than his grandfather's name was William, the family homesteaded in Wyoming, and currently lives in the Casper area. Mostly I am looking for information on the origin and history of the BURD family name. Family history holds that it is Irish but so far I haven't been able to locate it on any of the larger Irish surname sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated. April Burd P.S. My work has mostly been on the HUGHETT/HEWIT and SHOWALTER lines. Other major lines in the family are MANGUS/MANGIS and HESS. For the most part the branches immigrated to Pennsylvania >>> Tennessee and Virginia >>> Midwest. I'd be happy to share any information I have.

do a search for your Burd at this site: ILLINOIS STATEWIDE MARRIAGE INDEX, 1763-1900 http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html good luck Connie

Hi Bird Listers from Down Under: This is my first posting in about a year. Since writing last, my husband and I made a once in a lifetime trip to the USA and met a couple new "alive" Bird cousins and thankfully found out quite a bit more about our family. It is family lore that our Bird family came from Co. Meath near the Hill of Tara. We believe that Thomas' first wife, Catherine, died before they left for Toronto Canada in the mid 1840's. They left Toronto and went to Saginaw, MI in about 1865 and then on to WA in about 1890. We have checked LDS IGI records but found nothing. Do any of you have any ideas for us? Wouldn't it be fabulous if one of you are a relation!!! WOW!!! We really don't know where to search for Irish records and on our pensions we can't afford to hire a researcher. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Best wishes and happy hunting to you all. John & JoAnn (Bird) O'Neil Mandurah, Western Australia 1 [1] Thomas E.

Judy, Thanks for the web site. Lots of info on my Byrds too. I especially appreciate your source citations. I descend from Andrew Bird/Byrd and Magdalene Jones/Jonasson and your information matches mine, except I don't show a son named John born around 1730 in Chester Co PA. Do you recall what your source was? He's not mentioned in Andrew's will. I have quite a bit of info on the descendants of Adam Byrd who moved to Washington Territory in 1852.

Does > anyone know which is correct? > Thanks, > Judy > Hi, Judy I recently purchased a copy of an out-of-print book, OLEY VALLEY HERITAGE, by Philip E. Pendleton. Pendleton, a native of Berks County, is an architectural historian whose research interests address social history and architectural history. He is also a descendant of the Yocum and Jones (Jonasson) families. In his book, he refers to William Bird several times as an Irishman. I have also found references in the journals of the Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg in 1748 to a "wealthy, respectable Irishman" at Molatton, that are apparent references to William Bird. Muhlenberg preached at Molatton once every two weeks during the week and once every two weeks on Sunday afternoons, riding from his home in Providence [present-day Trappe], a distance of 12 miles [German miles were somewhat longer than English miles during this period]. Muhlenberg continued as a visiting pastor from March 1748-May 1752, so he would, undoubtedly, have known William Bird, the most prominant man in the area, well. Muhlenberg customarily referred to individuals in his journals by their nativity, rather than by their names, differentiating between English, Swedes, and Irish. That Bird was active in the religious life at Molatton is evident from a letter he wrote in 1760. On April 23, 1753, Molatton Church organized itself as a parish in its own right, named Saint Gabriel's, but over the next few years apparently had problems obtaining and retaining a minister. In 1760, Bird was influenced by Dr. William Smith, first provost of the University of Pennsylvania, who advised him to write to the Church authorities in England asking for a minister to be sent to the congregation at Molotton. A layman adding to the letter stated that William Bird was a "substantial citizen with profits from his business amounting to about three thousand dollars a year." "to the Venerable Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The humble Representation of the Subscribers Inhabitants of Berks in the Province of Pennsylvania. SHEWETH, That the said county is a very large and growing one, situated on the frontiers of the said province and hath never yet had any English Minister of any denomination settled in it, nor hath it had the happiness of being visited often by any of the Reverend Clergy of the interior counties, there being none whose cure is so near as to allow them to come hither without neglect of their proper parishioners. That we much lament the case of our children and families who live entirely destitute of those instructions, which we in our younger days had the happiness to be blest with in our native places, and are justly apprehensive that unless the Venerable Society will be pleased to extend their pious and charitable cure to us by fixing a Missionary among us, we shall have the mortification of seeing our children brought up without any idea of their public worship or religious ordinances. That in this distress, having invited the Revd. Doctor William Smith up to preach among us and having received encouragement from him to lay our case before your venerable body (whose tender concern for the extension of Christianity and welfare of His Majesty's Colonies have been long conspicuous), we have presumed to apply for your assistance humbly praying that you would be pleased to send over a Missionary to reside in Reading, the chief town of the county aforesaid, and to officiate also at Morlattin a place fifteen miles distant, where a church has for many years been built by a Society of English and Swedes who are desirous of having a Missionary of the Church of England and join with us in this application. That in order to induce the Venerable Society to grant our said request we have in conjunction with the said Morlattin Congregation entered into a Subscription obliging ourselves to pay yearly to such Missionary the sum of Sixty Pounds, Pennsylvania money, being about thirty-eight pounds sterling, over and above what the Society may be pleased to allow him; which sum was readily subscribed by the Inhabitants who seem resolved to give all further encouragement in their power to any worthy Minister the Society may be pleased to send over, for which purpose our best services shall not be wanting. That for want of Ministers of the Church of England in these parts many people sincerely disposed to be among the number of her Members are drawn after various sorts of Sectaries, and which is still worse the Roman Catholic priests are making converts among us to the great grief of your petitioners and others, and that we believe a pious Ministry of the Church of England would be able to promote the interest of piety and virtue and to prevent a great body from leaving the church for want of opportunity of attending public worship. That if the Society have no particular person in view for [t]his as a Missionary, there is a young gentleman, Mr. Joseph Mather, now in London, born of creditable parents in the province and educated at College of Philadelphia who we believe would do us good service if he could be prevailed upon to come to this place and undertake the fatigues to which a new Mission near the frontiers must necessarily be subject. Will M. Bird, and others" [Source: DuHamel, William, "An Historical Sketch of William Bird," Historical Review of Berks County, Spring, 1982, p. 70-72] William Bird died the following year on Nov. 16, 1761, and was buried at Saint Gabriel's Cemetery in Douglassville. Since Bird had married the daughter of one of the Swedes, Brigitte Hulings, on Oct. 28, 1735, it is likely that he followed the religious practices of her family (I can feel you all out there thinking, "If he were Irish, wasn't he likely to have been Catholic?" :-) Pendleton's research is supported by numerous original resources--sixty-six references in the chapter dealing with religion alone. Muhlenberg's journals appear to have been his source for designating Bird a native of Ireland. I have seen Muhlenberg's journals, which were a written during William Bird's lifetime by someone who undoubtedly knew him. I have not seen a contemporary source documenting any of the other theories of Bird's nativity. Sherry Johnson sherrjo@tenet.edu

They had the Dorothy Bird born 25 May 1588 in Towcester who died 2 Aug 1670 or 1676 (?) in Hartford after marrying Dr. Thomas Lord 23 Feb 1610/1611 in England (place not known). Dr. Lord (1585-1638 or 1667 in Hartford, Ct) was son of Richard Lord of Towcester, England who married Joan (?) but I do not have parents for either of them yet. Any research sites for Towcester would be appreciated since I'm researching Bird, Lord and Mallett there.

There is also a book titled "The Bird Family, A Genealogy of Thomas Bird of Dorchester, Massachusetts and Some of His Descendants" (same author I think). I am trying to link a Martha Bird into that tree. She married Thomas Woodbury in Massachusetts. I suspect she is the daughter of Dolly Bird because they are buried in the same Cementery lot (#1822) at Mt. Auburn (Cambridge, Ma). Dolly is listed in the book but Martha and the other children are not. Martha is not listed in Dorchester births but some of her bothers and sisters are. An item on my to-do list is to look up the probate records of Daniel Bird, her brother, to see if there is a clue there. 73 Eric eac@shore.net WB1HBU

Some Maine descendants of Aaron Bird of Dorchester, Massachusetts can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~meandrhs/minot/bird/bird.html

The following was taken from a Genealogical Sketch of the Bird family of Hartford, Conn., written by Isaac Bird around 1855. Apparently a large monument was erected to Col. Bird and has the following on the front side: "Erected, Oct. 10, 1842, to the memory of Col. Amos Bird, by citizens of Castleton and friends, as a tribute of respect to a worthy man. Born at Salisbury, Conn., and died Sept. 16, 1772, aged 30 years." On another side: "Col. Bird was the first white man who asserted dominion in Castleton, where he arrived in Jan. 1766. He was the first possessor of the soil for civilization, and the first called to resign it, leaving the fruits of his bold enterprise to others." On the East side: "The mortal remains of Col. B. were first interred, by his direction, near his dwelling in the valley of Bird Creek, and after seventy years disinterred and here intombed to wait the summons that awakes the dead." The way this book is written, it is difficult to connect the Birds that are mentioned in it. The best I can tell, this Col. Amos Bird was the son of Joseph Bird (and Dorcas Moore), son of Thomas Bird. This is not my family but thought someone might be able to use the information. Glenda

Thanks to our ancestors we all have these rights. Happy 4th of July http://www.eakles.com/95julyfourthpg.htm

Is anyone familiar with Robert King Bird who was some kind of hero during the Civil War from East Tennessee. I found a large newspaper article and photo of him in the TN Archives. Just wondered who his Bird ancestors were. Glenda

Is anyone working on the Birds who were in Harford Co., MD in the latter part of the 1700's? I was told my Birds who were in Robertson Co., TN in late 1700's and early 1800's were from Harford Co., MD. Some of them married into the Gilbert family and the Gilberts were from Harford Co. Would appreciate anything on either of these families. Glenda
