OK-Here's som more stuff my mom got for me. Levi was born 14 Dec.1823 and Sarah Angeline Clark Bird was born 21 May 1832 These are my greatr-great grandparents. Still trying to get their states. Jerry and Mildred Adams Bird are great-great uncle and aunt. They are from Hawthorne, WI. circa 1829 Roxann

I am sorry, but I think the Bird/Burd line that you are searching for might be a different one than mine. However, if I come across something to help you with at a later date, I will let you know. Good luck.At 04:19 PM 2/22/00 -0600, Connie R. Loftus wrote: >Re your message: >Hi-I'm helping my mother with her searches. We are >looking for any info on Levi and Sarah >Bird.

Your information on the Lords and Birds is essentially correct, but there are a few mistakes. In 1636, with his entire family, ranging in age from 4 to 25, Thomas Lord joined the party of Reverend Thomas HOOKER and Mr. Stone, and one hundred men, women and children which took it's departure from Newtown to form a new settlement on the Connecticut River. They traveled more than one hundred miles through a hideous and trackless wilderness to HARTFORD. These were the first settlers of Hartford. There is a plaque in front of one of the entrances to Harvard University that commemorates this event and marks it as the starting place of Rev. Thomas Hooker's party who founded Hartford, CT. Also, I found one internet source that mentioned that Dorothy Bird and Thomas Lord had 12 children. I have eight of them, but have never verified the other four. I am descended from John, born in 1623. And I have Dorothy Lord born 1 Jul 1629 as the last of their children. If my info is correct, then Dorothy is definitely the daughter of Dorothy Bird.

I am so glad to hear from someone with the same problem. Several weeks ago I joined the Bulkeley list and Hazel sent me an exerpt from "THE BULKELEY GENEALOGY" by D. L. Jacobus A footnote at the bottom of page 16, "A guess made years ago, and still repeated by the ignorant, to the effect that Mrs. Dorothy LORD, who with her family came to America in the same ship as the Bulkeleys, was a sister of Rev.

Well, I am not saying that this is true, but I do believe that when we search high and low for something and there is plenty of info on the subject as in this case, then there is a reason why we can't find the documentation. Here is what my grandfather said: John Ingersoll (1615-84) from Eng. with his bro, Richard; went from Salem, Mass to Hartford, Conn. 1651; to Westfield, Mass; m. 1651 Dorothy Lord (d.1656) dau. of Thomas Lord. Thomas Lord (1585-1667) son of Richard Lord of Towchester County, Northampton, Eng. mother, Joan; from England on the "Elizabeth and Ann". Thomas went to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1635. He joined Reverand Thomas Hoskins' party in founding Westford, Connecticut in 1636. He married 1610-1611 to Dorothy Bulkeley dau. of Rev. Richard. Married (2) 1616 to Dorothy Bird (1589-1670); dau. of Robert Bird. Well that seems to lead me to believe that Dorothy Bulkeley died before 1616 and he married Dorothy Bird. It is Dorothy Bird that traveled with him to the New World. Do you have a copy of Dorothy's dad's will, Robert Bird? You notice that my grandfather never said which of the ladies were the mother of Dorothy Lord. It all hinges on when Dorothy was born. I put that she was born aft. 1610/11 since that was the marriage date. If she was born after 1616 then she would be the daughter of Dorothy Bird. Do you know of any other children of Thomas Lord?

Launa and Fellow Bird Researchers: When trying out a new search engine (www.alltheweb.com, which turned up things others didn't for me), I came across a set of transcribed Buncombe Co court recrods ca 1794-1795. I have not gone through them with a fine tooth combe, but at the April 1795 session, Benjamin BIRD Sr. enters some estate administration papers for Benjamin Bird Jr., Thomas BIRD gave bond and security. The Bird brothers are also involved in the estate of Thomas ALLISON. Here is the URL for the session mentioning Thomas Bird and Benjamin Bird. Follow the links at the end of the page for more information: http://www.main.nc.us/OBCGS/ctmin_3.htm Does anyone know who these fellows are???? My best, Janet Hunter

Hi everyone I'm new to the Bird list. I have been looking for my gggg-grandfather Thomas BIRD born abt.1746 I don't know where yet. He married Elizabeth LORD 21 Apr. 1789 St.Michael Parish,Bishops Stortford,Hertford,England. They had four sons William,Thomas,Edward Rant and John Bangham BIRD. Thomas died 25 Mar 1811 in Bishops Stortford,Hertford,England and his wife Elizabeth died June 1800. Does anyone have this family in their family tree? Thank you in advance.
