Hello all, Is anyone researching the surname BIRD. I found out from a great Aunt that one member of my Bird family either Henry Bird b. 1872 Barking Joseph Bird b. 1870 Horton, London George Charles Bird b.1867 Clerkenwell All the above lived in Deptford. One of the above emigrated to Australia between 1920-1930. Has anyone got any links??? Where does one find passenger lists on the web?? regards, Michael Bird.

My family has a branch where brothers married sisters. Roy and Raymond Edwards married Dorothy and Lilly Bird. Dorothy and Raymond are my grandparents I am new to genealogy, was wondering if when I'm forming the family tree if I include the common people EVERYWHERE? Make sense?. It seems confusing to me when typing or writing it out, but its not confusing in my head. Denisa

Hi! I'm hoping that someone can help me find some information on this family. I have come to a complete stop in my research and hope that someone out there may recognize some of these names. Thomas E. Byrd named his children after members of his family. I would to find out the names of his parents and siblings and continue on with my research. Any help or suggestions would be most grateful.

An Eleanor Bird married Isaac Batman [?] 3-5-99, Jefferson Co. KY (per article in NGS Quarterly, Disk 1, Vol. 4, "Kentucky Records" p. 15). Can anyone identify this Eleanor Bird?

Last week I asked for a source about Abraham who died in Fayette Co., KY. Jynelle Byrd Caffey sent a newspaper reference "The Monitory" (Lexington, KY) March 23 ? 1820, so now I'm comfortable and confident with that information. In return, I want to share another (short) document from Bourbon Co. KY, that "might" connect the two Abrahams. Comments from any of you are welcome. Abraham and John Bird were both in Bourbon Co. KY by 1788 (personal property tax lists) and I THINK they came from the Shenandoah Valley, VA). In 1798 Abraham Byrd gave power of attorney to John Byrd, both of Bourbon, no relationship between the two given, because he was moving. Too bad Abraham didn't say to where he was moving! Can anyone confirm that the Abraham of Bourbon is the Abraham who died in Fayette, or another? Know all men by these presents that I Abraham Byrd of the County of Bourbon and State of Kentucky, for divers good causes and considerations me hereunto moving.

Judy, I could be mistaken, but I think that my 25 year old notes mention only twice, the that Andrew might have been the son of Abraham. One was where I was quoting an informant from Utopia, TX, and the other was where I was quoting (or paraphrasing) from Wayland's HISTORY OF SHENANDOAH COUNTY and Virkus Compendium of American Genealogy. I now believe this to be wrong. As is (or was) noted in the disclaimer that was originaly including with my posting on the Bath County site some two years ago, the 25 year old chronologies were posted in "unedited" form. These notes were compiled by me some 25 to 30 years ago (in the 1970's)in an attempt to organize my research notes in some meaningful form for my own benefit and were not intended at the time for publication. At the time that they were created, they were for my own use only and were never intended to be regarded as a final work for publication. I recorded information (sometimes conflicting information) as I found it, and (in most instances) I cited my sources; however my notations also included some of my own thinking and reasoning at the time ("theories" if you will) regarding possible lineages. These chonologies should not be regarded as a finished work. When the internet came along, I did, however, think that there was enough value in them to place them into the public domain in unedited form for the benefit of others. My intent was not to misinform (as seems to be the case); but to prompt the reader to consult my sources together with other sources and to judge for themselves. A lot has transpired in the last 25 years since these works were created as a personal research tool; and a lot of new information has come forward. In answer to your question, I no longer believe, nor claim, that the Andrew Bird who married Magdalene Jones was son of Abraham of Maryland or in any way connected with the Maryland BIRD/BYRD family. All indications are that this Andrew BIRD was probably among the group who followed Joist HITE and the Van METRE brothers from NJ to Bucks Co. and Chester Co., PA and thence to Virginia. Do I have proof? No! But I do have a lot of circumstancial evidence that points in that direction. Can it be proven? I don't know. But I've learned never to give up looking for more evidence. Do you have any thoughts on this? I've tried a few times to add an errata to the BIRD files; but I've run into some roadblocks with the coordinator of the Bath County site, who is an adherant to the old theory that Andrew was son of Abraham inspite of the new information to the contrary. Note that she has posted companion files expanding on the "Abraham" theory and placed them adjacent to my "Its About Time" files. Only the "About Time" files are mine. Unfortunately these other BIRD files have been falsely attributed to me because she included my e-mail address as a reference. My only recourse would be to insist that the "ITS ABOUT TIME" files (and my name) be removed in their entirety; and I'm not sure that I want to do that at this point. It seems like it would be "throwing the baby out with the bath water". Does the mystery remain? YES! But I would be happy to share what I have regarding Andrew's probable origin to help solve the mystery. William L. DeCoursey.

I descend from 2 Bird lines. Effie Bird (dau. of Elisha and Catherine 'Ringo' Bird of New Jersey) married a Reuben Pownall (Quaker). Reuben and Effie had a daughter named Rachel Pownall. and Mary Bird (here it is highly probable 89%) that she may descend from John and Margaret 'STEELMAN' Bird(m. 1726 in Burlington County, NJ). John Bird was the son of Thomas and Sarah 'EMPSON' Bird of Delaware(a possible descendent of John and Grace 'STEGGE' Bird). Sarah's half-sister married a Thomas Peters in Philadelphia MM in 1717 (a Quaker marriage). I haven't linked this Thomas Peters to my Peters yet but I'm working on this. Mary Bird married James Peters. They had a son John Peters, who was born after James' drowning in the Susquehanna River. Thereafter, I believe Mary took her baby John, and removed back to Philadelphia area. Away from the Indian threat at the time. On my Peters, Our last known ancestor was a James Peters (married Mary Bird) who we are speculating that William Peters (b. 1702) and Elizabeth Bailey as the parents. We know that William and Elizabeth had a son James Peters. We also know that William was a Quaker Representative and that his brother was Secretary of Pennsylvania at the time of James Peters drowning in the Susquehanna River in 1751. Richard had land out in Daulphin County, PA(near the Susquehanna Rivewr) and was considered the Gatekeeper of Real Estate for the Penn Family and was used by the Penn's to kick squatters off lands and settle real estate issues, and concerns that the Penns held at the time. John and Rachel 'POWNALL' Peters had the following children: John, Mary, Rachel, William, Elisha, Margaret, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Abigail. So even the names fit the speculation....but no solid 100% proof. John Peters

Dear Glenda, Thank you for the information, and THANK YOU for the source references. I'm finding lots of conflicting information regarding the men who have the same given names. The only way we can sort it is by going to the source--the original source. I have to read and think about your page of data, but in the meanwhile, where does the marriage of Mark Bird to Sarah Gordon come from? Might she have been a Jordan? Which Mark was he? Where did they live? Ms. Marty Hiatt, CGRS "Document what you find, listen to what you are told, and especially, love and respect your work."
