Sue and Gene, I believe I DO know who the father of John Bird is...but let me explain that my first clue was the marriage of Josiah Bird to Sarah Bird in November of 1840 in Lawrence County, IN. I found that Josiah Bird was likely the son of Samuel and Christena Ader, who married in Stokes County, NC Nov. 9, 1811. And I believe that Samuel and John were brothers, and sons of James Bird and Fanny Mason of Franklin County, VA. (This makes Josiah and his wife 1st cousins.) Other brothers to Samuel and John was Mason Bird (Sr.) who lived in Crawford County, IN close to the border of Harrison County. and James Bird, Jr. who died in Harrison County. I'm a descendent of this Mason Bird of Crawford County. I believe that I found Samuel and Christena in the Putnam County, IN 1840 Census, with 8 sons and 3 daughters in their household. Another son, Peter, is found living next door. One of Samuel's sons, Mason Bird (a different one), was born in Harrison County in 1821. So, they were passing through the area, and Lawrence County, on the way to Putnam Co. Several of Samuel and Christena's descendents are buried in Vermilion, IL. One thing, tho, is that this John Bird is found in the 1820 Harrison County Census already with two daughters (he married Elizabeth Prather in Sept of 1819 in Harrison County.) So, I'm assuming that the first two daughters MAY be from a previous marriage. I think that John was born about 1790 in Franklin County, VA. All of the above are assumptions and need further documentation. I be happy to discuss this further with you.

Dear List, I believe these girls are the children of John Bird and Elizabeth Prather, married September 9, 1819 in Harrison County, IN. Here is their census information for the household of JOHN BIRD: 1820, Harrison County IN Census, 1M&1F, age 26-45; 2F under 10 1830, Harrison County IN Census, 1M & 1F age 40-50, 1M & 1F under 5, 2F 5-10, 2F 10-15 (This was Blue River Twp., page 69) 1840, Lawrence County IN Census, 1M & 1F age 50-60, 2F 20-30, 1F 15-20, 1F 10-15, 1F 5-10 (Only the one M child is missing from this census.) They are NOT in Lawrence County, IN 1850 Census, but they must be SOMEWHERE. Any help would be appreciated! Marla Moore

I would like to thank all of you that replyed to my email on date calculation.I had so many replies that it would take me all night to thank you all individually. Between them all I came up with 27 Oct 1856 as the birth date. Once again Thank you. Johanna

I saved this formula for calculating birth dates from another list and I claim neither ownership nor accuracy: REMEMBER THE NUMBER 8870 This is not an error. It is the number to remember when you want to find the birthdate of someone when you only have the date of death and age. Suppose the person died May 6, 1889, at the age of 71 years, 7 months, 9 days. 1- Write the month day year as 18890506 2- Subtract the age at death 710709 3- That gives you the figure 18179797 4- Now subtract 8870 8870 5- The result is 18170927 year 1817, 9th month (Sept), 27th day, or 27 September, 1817 Source Given: Platte Co. MO Historical/Genealogical Society

Hi, I have a question that I am hoping SKS on one of my sites can help me with . I have a birth year as 1856 Death date as Aug. 9 1889 Age at death 32 years 9 months 13 days Can any one explain to me how to find out the exact birth date from the info please.Everytime I tried to calculate I came up with a different month and year. Thank you Johanna >

I can date my great grandfather back to May 1862. His name is Charles Franklin Bird married to a Louise Kramer. Thay lived in an area around Shamokin, Pa. and a place called Doutyville, Pa. Would appreciate hearing from anybody related to Bird's from that area.

Discovered the following while cleaning out old papers. It is unknown to me whether or not Mack Byrd is among "my" Byrds but I did not want to throw away this obit without posting it for others. The Kentucky Post, Thursday, December 29, 1994 (part of The Cincinnati Post & published for Northern KY readers): "Mack Byrd, 67, of Crittenden, died at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center North. He was a retired heavy equipment operator, a member of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 18, East Bend Baptist Church and an Army veteran of World War II. His daughter, Anita Byrd, died in 1970. Survivors include his wife, Alma Byrd; sons, James Richard Byrd of Dry Ridge and William Reed Byrd of Crittenden; and two grandchildren. Services will be at noon Friday at Chambers and Grubbs Funeral Home, Florence. Visitation will begin there at 10:00 a.m. Friday. Burial will be in East Bend Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the Crittenden Baptist Church or the charity of the donor's choice." Hope this is of some use to someone.
