He settled at Newtown, Mass., which afterwards became Cambridge. In 1633, Governor Haynes and the Rev. Thomas Hooker, friends of Thomas Lord, sailed for America with about 200 passengers important to the colony, and it is thought that Richard Lord went in advance in order to select a place to settle. In 1636, with his entire family, ranging in age from 4 to 25, Thomas Lord joined the party of Rev. Hooker and Mr. Stone and one hundred men, women, and children which took its departure from Newtown to form a new settlement on the Connecticut River. (There's an historical monument next to Harvard University commemorating the starting point of this journey.) "They traveled more than one hundred miles through a hideous and trackless wilderness to Hartford. These were the first settlers of Hartford. One internet source says that Dorothy Bird and Thomas Lord had 12 children. I have the names of 8 of them and I descend from their son, John Lord. If anyone has info on Dorothy or Robert Bird and their ancestors in Towcester, England I would love to hear from you!

No, my information shows that this James Marshall Byrd was the son of Thomas Henry Byrd and Susan Francis Carter. Where are your Byrds from?

I've got new information on my gggrandfather, William T. Bird. He was born about 1841 in Crawford County, Indiana. There are several Birds in Crawford County in the 1840 census, but I don't know how they're related. I think that William T. was the son of Mason Bird and Catherine Mullins. I believe that Mason was born about 1788 in WV. Mason's mother may have been Fanny Mason (which is where he must have got his unusual name) and his father John Bird. Anyone out there know this family? Marla

I have names and dates, but no locations. Thomas Henry Byrd (2 Aug., 1839 - 20 Mar., 1907) married Susan Francis Carter (14 Sep., 1859 - 20 Jun., 1932) on 30 Dec., 1875 They had nine children: James Marshall Byrd (30 Aug., 1877 - 13 Dec., 1957) John Washington Byrd (23 Aug., 1879 - Jul., 1880) Robert Lee Byrd (15 Jul., 1881 - 23 Sep., 1955) William Bates Byrd (19 Sep., 1883 - 13 Jan., 1966) Nellie Jane Byrd (28 May, 1886 - 26 Jul., 1903) Walter Louis Byrd (8 Jun., 1888 - ca. 1945) Ernest Henry Byrd (20 Sep., 1893 - 17 Nov., 1956) Lucy Ann Byrd (27 Aug., 1897 - 13 Oct., 1959) Lafayette Lawrence Byrd (27 Aug., 1900 - 14 Sep., 1954) Does anyone recognize this family? The next generation wound up in Mississippi Co., Arkansas, but I don't know if they were born there or moved there before my father was born in 1928. Terry Griffin

Thought Id send out my request again. Its been awhile hoping that some one knows something about Sarah Bird who married Philip Booker in Sulivan county Indiana abt 1830. Is there any help out there? George

> PLEASE put the state, county or at least the CENTURY with your > name request. We ALL have an interest in Bird/Burd/Byrd names or > we wouldn't be on this list. = You are right!!!! Well said imagine the excitement we have when we see: 1- Looking for ancestors. 2-Need help. 3- William byrd- no date- no country- no state- 3- 19th century Birds......... 4- Does anyone have any info on john Byrd?........ 5- Byrd information needed........ 6- I went to high school with Fred Bird. Anyone out there who can help me. 7- trying to locate Bird cousins...... You are right- there is an art to making a query that should be much easier than some realize. anyone have any info on an old girlfriend of mine named Winnifred? thx- Tom BYRD Atkinson

Some folks I know would argue that getting me "Nuts" is more of a putt than a drive. Never-the-less I need help with this item. PLEASE put the state, county or at least the CENTURY with your name request. We ALL have an interest in Bird/Burd/Byrd names or we wouldn't be on this list. If I see a long listing of Birds, I know that someone went through a great deal of effort to put it there. The parts of my family that I know well are very localized. If one puts in the title--or at least in the first line or so--some identifying item to let me know the list could be MY family, it would help. We are at our stage in this genealogy quest because someone spent some time helping us. We will all help others if we can. But, PLEASE HELP US HELP YOU! Thanks, all. James

Hello Amy. I am also descended from Thomas Lord and Dorothy Bird, but I only show 8 children. Do you have all the names of the 12? I also have Thomas Lord's parents info, and the story of how Thomas and family joined the Reverend Thomas Hooker and traveled through the "wilderness" to establish Hartford, Connecticut. I have never been able to take the Bird line back any further. Let's compare what we both have.

Does anyone have any information about a William Burd who lived in Amite County, Ms. in the late 1700's, early 1800's. His daughter Zelphy married William Curtis son of Richard Curtis and Phoebe Courtney. William lived next to the Curtis's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Geneva

I found this in the Lincoln Co., TN Wills 1810-1895 and thought it might help someone: Page 390, Estate of Richard Byrd, dec'd. April 29, 1817 by Joel Pinson, Admr. Recorded Jan 20, 1824.

Someone had asked for information on William Bird and Rebecca Archer. They married in Lawrence Co., TN May 6, 1829. My Thomas T. Bird married Sady Downs in that county in 1818. I believe they are related but cannot prove how. Glenda

Bettye, there is an Old Campground Cemetery right on the Lamar and Marion Co., AL line and I have some Birds in that area. I will dig them out and let you know. Some of my Gann relatives are buried in this cemetery and the last time I was there, it was grown up so that we couldn't get around to all the graves. They have cleaned it up some but it may be back in the same shape. It is just over the Marion Co., AL line going toward Sulligent, AL and you turn off to the left and it is on the left at the top of the hill. Glenda

Seeking contact with anyone that has data in their files on the following BIRD ancestors: George M. Bird d. 25 August 1906 wife, Martha S. d 2 January 1907 both buried "Campground Cemetery, AL" according to a family ledger. We have only found 2 AL cemeteries by that name: one in Morgan Co and another in Tuscaloosa Co. John William Bird d 28 June 1902 wife, Eliza Ann d 7 February 1892 believe this couple may have lived in Chatooga Co or Floyd Co GA. Possibly George M. and John William Bird were brothers or father/son. Mary Selena Bird was b 9 Dec 1871 unk where. She m. Engle Griffitts 14 Dec 1890 in Chattooga Co GA. She d. 25 Sept 1920 and is buried in the Old Trione Cemetery, Trione, Chatooga Co Ga. I do not know the parents of Mary Selena Bird but she was related to the above named John William and George M. Bird. Thanks, Bettye

I am seeking information on the Bird families in Perry Co.,Kty In 1820. Larkin Bird was married there at that time. Since the County was formed about that time family records could show the County as either Clark or Floyd.Does anyone know any thing about the birds in this area?
