To whom it may concern: This is a transcription of information collected by Otto Bird of Notre Dame University (IN); it appears to be largely based on a book titled "Geanealogical (sic) Sketch of the Bird Family, having its origin in Hartford, CT" by Isaac Bird. Some information was further confirmed by Otto Bird using Farmington, CT town records. I have added some information that I feel very confident about from other sources. These additions are indicated in square brackets []. A question mark indicates some question or problem with a particular date, and two question marks indicates doubtful information, IMO. Here's what I have at this point in time: 1. THOMAS BIRD -- at Hartford CT as early as 1644 [probably earlier]. [b. 1593? or 1600?? in England] d. August 10, 1662 - leaving a widow, whom John Belden promises to look after m. Mary [Belden] Children: James (d. 1708), married Lydia Steele. [John?] Mary (m. Mr. Scott) Hannah (m. Mr. North) Joseph* 2. JOSEPH BIRD -- m. Mary Steele (she died Jan 22, 1729 or 1730) [Note: Lydia Steele and Mary Steele are sisters.] d. 1696 at Farmington, CT Children: Joseph (had a son named Samuel who married Eunice Wadsworth) Elizabeth Mary (who married Jonathan Smith) James Nathaniel Mindwell (married Mr. Cogswell) Samuel* Thomas 3. SAMUEL BIRD (from Farmington Town Records [F.T.R.], vol.6.305) married Jan 2, 1695/96 to Esther Woodford [some records say Woodruff], d. of Joseph and Rebecca (Newell) Woodford; she died Farmington, April 5, 1742, leaving an estate of 113 pounds. Children: Esther Samuel* [NOTE: The Samuel who is a descendant of Joseph Bird (#2, above) may in fact be from his eldest son Joseph, not from Samuel the next to youngest under #3, who would then become an uncle. Regardless, the line is clearly re-established with the entry below.] 4. SAMUEL BIRD (from F.T.R. 2.91) b. Farmington June 10, 1699 m. Eunice Wadsworth, d. of Nathaniel and Dorothy (Ball) Wadsworth (F.T.R. 5.13) d. Jan 19, 1780 ? Children: Eunice 1, Eunice 2, Joseph, Esther, Eunice 3, Samuel* 5. SAMUEL BIRD b. August 20, 1747 -- settled at Avon, CT m. 1770 to Rhoda Hawley (b. July 29, 1751) d. of Samuel and Elizabeth (Gridley) Hawley of Simsbury, CT. Children: unnamed d., Ira Wadsworth [b. 1/29/1762, F.T.R., 14.5], Samuel Osman (b. 1772, and who had seven sons), Rhoda Anna, b. 1776, Zenas* 6. ZENAS BIRD b. May 19, 1777, baptised on July 7, 1777 in Farmington, CT. Married July 11, 1799 to Tabitha Burgoyne, d. of Captain Augustus Horatio Burgoyne and Annie (Rice) Burgoyne of Thetford, VT (Augustus is buried in Augusta, NY) [The New York Historical Society has placed a marker on the highway next to the cemetery identifying Augustus Burgoyne as the "Chief Surgeon" for the British Army at the Battle of Saratoga.] Zenas Bird d. Dec 3, 1833 [died in Watertown, NY while traveling; brought home to Munnsville, NY and is buried in the town cemetery there.] Tabitha (Burgoyne) Bird - b. 14 August 1782, d. 11 June 1839. Children: Prosper Burgoyne, Augustus Allen*, Maryann Alpina, Horatio Franklin, Fannie Marie, George Burr, Charles Hopkins, Zenas Jr. [died in infancy], Zenas Henry, Ira Washington [my particular direct ancestor], William Dinohue, Charlotte Jeanette. [12 children altogether, with 11 surviving to adulthood; all but George Burr Bird removed to Wisconsin after Zenas' death in 1833. G.B. remained in Madison Co., NY] 7. AUGUSTUS ALLEN BIRD b. Thetford VT, April 1, 1802 m. Charity Le Clair, from Westmoreland, NY in 1824. d. February 25, 1870 in Green Bay, WI Children: Rhenodyne Augustus*, Frederick W., Juliette, Ira Washington, George W(allace)., Duane D. [This is the well-known Wisconsin pioneer A.A. Bird, who was the second Mayor of Madison, WI.; he also designed and constructed the first Wisconsin Capitol building.] [I have other information on A.A.'s other siblings and children if anyone wants it.] I hope that this information is helpful to someone!

Hi, I'm new to the list and would like to know if anyone has a BIRD-MURRAH(MURPHY?MURRAY) connection. It was written that my gggggrandmother, _______ MURRAH, was the sister of Amos MURRAH and Cass MURRAH, both early settlers of Limestone Co., AL. An Amos Bird MURRAH, b. ca 1806 in KY (according to 1850 census, Limestone Co., AL) was probably the son of either Amos or Cass MURRAH. ____ MURRAH, my 4ggrandmother, married Thomas PHILLIPS. Their daughter said that her mother, ___MURRAH, was born in TN. This daughter was born in TN or AL in 1814. I found a listing of NC Land Grants in TN which listed: 1782- Washington Co., TN : #'s 37, 138, 144, 169, 180 - William Murphy # 181 - Amos Bird # 360 Jonathan Bird 1786- Green Co., TN: #1606 John Murphy #1642 Amos Byrd 1787- Green Co., TN: #1756 Amos Byrd Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Donna Walker Eddins dleddins@airmail.net Texas

Fellow Bird/Byrd Researchers: A cousin on completely different lines, sent me a collection of abstracts of many Pittsylvania Co VA,deeds, including amongst other names a number of Birds, as she knew I had Sheltons in that county and might find something of use. Below is a list of what she sent me that includes Bird/BYRD I believe that some of the Pigg River references may have been in what ultimately became Henry and/or Franklin Co. I know that the Choates, some of whom were with Bird/Byrd families in Robertson Co TN owned land on Pigg River, it would appear some of it speculatively. FYI, I descend from Robertson Co TNBird/Byrds John Bird/BYRD, son of ???????? and ????????, and Nancy COUTS, d/o John Couts and Leah STARK. John and Nancy's location is somewhat of a mystery; they may have moved to Lawrence or Caroll Co TN, according to other researchers (Ed?). It appears John died before Nancy moved with children to Dade Co MO in the 1850s. A Robert Byrd, who would have been John's contemporary is also there. Henry Bird & Lucinda CHOATE, d/o Powhatan Choate & Winney HALEY. Powhatan, son of Gabriel and Lucy WEBB, m. Stokes Co 1804, moved to Dade Co from Robertson in 1853/4 or thereabouts. >Casselia Bird/BYRD and Wm Michael MARSH, my great grandparents. In the context of researching my Marsh family from the Nansemond VA/Gates,Hertford,Bertie NC area, I am continually struck by how many of the Birds and Choates who were in Robertson Co married names I see frequently in the SW corner of VA and the NW Corner of NC, but not that many other places, these include: BREWER, LANGSTON (Mary Lou), JERNIGAN, HOLMAN, , to name a few. I just can't help but wonder if the Robertson Co, Birds are from that neck of the woods, where unfortunately the early given names parallel the Birds who came down from the Shenandoah Valley (Jacob, Abner, etc.). Bird given names in the Pittsylvania Deeds below are: Francis, Richard, Joseph & wife Hannah, John Lewis and John Lewis Jr., and Samuel There are also some descriptions of signatures. I am not sure if my cousin is working from a microfilm of the original deeds or an abstract book. Does anyone recognize any of these folks???

Hi everyone, I subscribed to this list a few days ago, so I am not aware of what has been going on or who is here. One of my ancestors is a John Bird, who lived in Washington County Illinois in 1840. He was born 1780-1790. Correspondents have reported that before coming to Illinois he lived in the neighborhood of Nashville TN. I have not been able to verify the TN connection, but haven't yet pursued the matter with intensity. I wonder if others here have investigated the John Birds living near Nashville in the early 19th century?

Steven, Was Thomas Bird of Knox Co., Tenn., ca.1820-40 perchance a descendant of the earlier Thomas Bird of Conn.? If so, please contact me. Thanks, Archie Holmes.

Greetings, I've just subscribed to the list, so I thought that I'd test the waters! I'm attempting to establish the identity of the parents of Thomas Bird of Hartford, CT, b. approx. 1600, d. Aug 10, 1662 in Hartford. He was married to Mary Belden. I've noted that Dorothy Bird of Hartford (approximately the same dates as Thomas) was married to a Thomas Lord. Both Dorothy and her husband Thomas Lord were from Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, were married there, and emigrated to the colonies. My question is: Does anyone have any direct evidence of a relationship between Thomas Bird and Dorothy Lord? It appears that they could be brother and sister. If so, who are their parents? Many thanks for the help. Steve Bird ---------------------------------------- Dr. Steven Bird Director of Orchestras University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

BIRD/DASHER CORRECTION: Previous data purported that: Ann Bird, daughter of James Robeson Bird, married Christian Dasher, Jr. on 30 June 1801. This is not likely, because Ann Bird daughter of James Robeson Bird "was born in 1807, 6 years AFTER the marriage." Fact 1: Ann Bird b. 02 Sept 1778, daughter of Israel Robeson Bird and Anna Stafford, married Christian Dasher, Jr. b. 1778 on 30 June 1801, Fact 2 (new): Ann Dasher, wife of Christian Dasher, Jr., died 02 June 1852 "in the 74th year of her age" Christian Dasher, Jr. died 06 Oct 1842 and both are interred at Dasher Cemetery, Old Field of Mrs. Malcolm Rahn in Effingham Co., GA Ann BIRD DASHER, daughter of Israel & Anna BIRD, died on 02 June 1852! Ann BIRD, daughter of James Robeson BIRD and granddaughter of Israel Robeson BIRD, died 20 Sep 1843. Hope this is helpful - Maureen

Hello Barb, Yes, I agree......we are all unconcious! Thank you for the information on your note. We are searching for Frank Tom BIRD....especially his death date and place. Did find his Grandson Frank Bird last night tho, and had a good visit. Best of luck in YOUR search, M. Trammell

I think the list has been in a state of unconsciousness... Have only received a couple of things.. and they were "old" info. In case you had not seen it, ANCESTRY has the Kentucky Census on line 1910... and if you look of Birds, you are hit with 600+ ... I would assume that is where to find the Birds that should be here! :) bye for now, barb

Is this getting through? I have not received anything for quite some time from the list so am wondering if I am still on it? ******************************************************************* "IN THE SPIRIT OF MENDING THE SACRED CIRCLE" GREY FOX www.egroups.com/subscribe/South-East-Creek A Native American Research Group (New list members by acceptance only) *******************************************************************

I'm not claiming that I know the ancestor of your Abner Bird. Remember, that Abner is not my ancestor--so I would expect that you know more about him than I do. I think, however, that little tidbits of information, such as land records, etc., and associations and interactions of family members, could be instrumental in figuring out who's who. Good luck with your research. Marla --------------DCEA9B69558AA9CD4894B748--
