Hello Fellow Bird Cousins, My ancestor is Dorothy BIRD b. ca. 1589 Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, she m. 23 Mar 1611 to Thomas LORD, and was the daughter of Robert BIRD born bet. 1555/1560 also in Towcester, he was buried in Towcester 22 July 1622, and his widow Amye (maiden name unknown), was buried there on 19 Apr 1625. Thomas and Dorothy (BIRD) LORD came to America on the ship "Elizabeth and Ann" which sailed on 29 Apr 1635. On the passenger list he is shown as a "smith", age 50; his occupation listing was perhaps a subterfuge to permit him to leave England, a he was a physician and practiced in Hartford, Ct. The family lived first in Cambridge, Ma. but in 1637, joined Rev. Thomas Hooker and his company and with them settled what is now Hartford, Ct. The family was well-to-do and prominent; some of the children were sent to England to be educated. Thomas Lord, Jr. is called the first educated physicia in Ct. Children of Thomas and Dorothy (BIRD) LORD: i. Richard, bpt. 5 Jan 1612, d. 1662;proprietor of Cambridge, Ma. 1632; Merchant of Hartford and Representative, 1657-61; Capt. Ct. Troop of Horse, m.

Hi Birds, Does anyone have a PA Bird connection in Dauphin/Berks Co.? I have a John H. Bird, b.1836 in Dauphin Co. Mother is Magdalena Bird. No father listed in 1850 census or on death cert. In 1840 there is an Isaac, Hiram and George in Dauphin Co.and appear to be brothers according to ages and living in same Twp. I tend to believe that of these three, that George was the father of our John. I am presently trying to find proof of this and hope to track this Bird family in Berks Co.PA. Dorothy

Looking for Fred BIRD, who married Mira SUTHERLAND before 1917. While in Teheran Persia (Iran), Fred Bird married my Aunt Mira. He ws a medical missionary and political science professor there - American Univ? - and she was a missionary nurse. Returned to U.S. after 1917 and last known became full Professor at Columbia University. I am trying to find his daughter, Jean Bird ABRAM, born in Iran, or his granddaughter, Sarah Abram, b. 1946.

Thanks, everyone, for helping me try to figure out who fits where in the Bird family. It seems that there were three different Thomas Birds that came from England. One, born 1593, had a wife Mary and settled in Farmington, Hartford Co, CT; another was Thomas Bird b 1653, wife Elizabeth, moved to NC (I think) - this is the line that came from Thomas LeBird and has been traced back to the 1100's. The third is a family that settled in Dorchester, MA. If these three families are connected in England, I haven't seen evidence of it. Someone suggested a web page for coordinating all these Bird lines. I have a large website, at http://www.geocities.com/~jupisano. If anyone else has a website and wants to give me their URL, I'll compile a list of them. Or, if you send me your Gedcom (Mac format, please) I'll put it on my website when I get the time. I'd like to help get all these families coordinated. Judy

Maria Horsmanden Meowtalker (is this your real name HEHE) Concerning the time periods of these birds let me diagram slightly how they go. andrew bird that married Magdelena Jonasson born about 1702 Rariton Somerset Co. NJ His father is Andrew Byrd born 1673 Oyster Bay Nausau Co. Long Island New york married Catherine Covert abyt 1701 at hell gate Neck, Newtown, Queens co. Long island New york and his father is Andrew Bird who was born 1651 and was of Nausau Co. Long Island New york. He married Hannah dimend abt 1670 in Suffolk Co. Long island New York, and died after 1694 of newtown Queens Co. NY. and he is the son of John Bird born about 1628-31 of Nausau Co. long lsland New york, and died aft 1676 of Huntington Nausau Co. New york I do not at this time have a wife for him nor is his parentage proven, however i am of the appinion with no evidence other than place and time that he is the son of Thomas Bird born about 1593 of London England and married Mary Belden died 10 aug 1662 in farmington hartford co. Conn. There are some things which should be understood concerning Long island and they are 1. most of the settlers there came from 4 or 5 places in conn or RI and Hartford Conn is one of them. 2. the english settlers early came from Mass and RI and then down to Conn and then to Island- the Frence- Dutch- swedes came from PHILLY and New amsterdam up, as this bird family name is english i reason that they came down from Conn and mass.

Just traced my Bird line back to Andrew Bird, b abt 1650, lived in Newtown, Queens Co, NY; possibly desc. of Thomas Bird b 1593 London,of Farmington, CT. I was checking Gedcoms on the web for other descendants of Andrew and Thomas and , boy, is there a lot of discrepancies out there! One problem: is the Andrew Bird that married Magdelene Jonnasson (Jones) and lived in Shanendoah Co, VA a descendant of my Thomas, or is he a descendant of the other Thomas Bird, born 1653 in England and emigrated to the south? I have seen him listed in both lines. Also, if any of you are related to my line, I'd love to have your family for my files. I'd like to get all the descendants of Thomas Bird together.
