Maureen and anyone else interested in this Bird family - I found on microfilm in Berks Co. Hist. Soc, but I failed to write the name of this local Berks Co. , PA newspaper, though it was an article from the county paper of the time-- June 12, 1941. UNION TOWNSHIP HAD A SETTLER BY NAME OF BIRD William Bird, ironmaster, is well known to all historians of Berks Co., but the name of Burgoon Bird, a contemporary resident of Union Township, is practically unknown. Burgoon Bird was born April 30, 1707, in New Jersey, a son of Andrew and Mary Bird. (Records of Reformed Church, Raritan, Somerville, NJ.) On November 29, 1737, Burgoon Bird had a warrant for 50 acres in Philadelphia Co.; January 9, 1752, a warrant for 300 acres in Phila. Co. And February 4, 1755, a warrant for 50 acres in Lancaster Co. A deed recorded in Book A1, pg.330, under date Sept. 14, 1754, recites, "Burgoon Bird of the New Indian Purchase in Berks Co, to Peter Conrath of Heidelberg Township, Lancaster Co. - improvement on the mouth of Mahanin Creek, south by River Schuykill; west by land surveyed for George Boone; north by James Boone's land; northeast by Francis Parvin's land; east by hill of vacant land 300 acres - surveyed, by warrant to Burgoon Bird." Rec'd March 16, 1759. Burgoon Bird married a daughter of Israel Robeson of Robeson Township Berks Co., as is proven by the will of Israel Robeson made March 1, 1769. "I Give and Bequeath unto the Children of my Eldest Daughter, Mary Bird, Deceased, Wife to Burgoon Bird, the Sum of One Hundred & Fifty Pounds lawful money to be equally divided amongst them by my Executors one year after my Decease or as soon as may be." Two children of Burgoon Bird and his wife Mary were baptized in St. Gabriel's Church, Douglassville, one in 1735 and the other in 1737. Burgoon Bird disappears from Berks Co and nothing more known of him, until we find in Deed Book 14, pg 430, the following: "Israel Bird, County of Scriven, Georgia, Executor of the will of Sylvanus Bird, deceased.- Diana Bullock, late Diana Bird, widow. Abraham Bird, Co. Of Effingham, Georgia. Shared McCall, Bryan Co., Georgia, and wife Margaret, only daughter and heir at law of Andrew Bird, deceased. Reuben Saffold County of Wilkes, Georgia, and Sarah Saffold (Formerly Sarah Bird) wife of Reuben Saffold. William Harn, Bryan Co., Georgia, late husband of Margaret Bird, deceased. The said Israel Bird, Sylvanus Bird, Andrew Bird, Abraham Bird, Sarah Bird and Margaret Bird, granddaughter (some missing here) The is no documentary evidence, but it seems that WilliamBird and Burgoon Bird may have been brothers, which may account for William, Bird, son of William Bird emigrating to Georgia. William Bird, son of Wm. Bird, called his home in Georgia,"The Aviary", and our Berks Co. "Aviary" contains many Birds. - Mary Own Steinmetz 6-12-1941 >I'm researching the BIRD family in Georgia, originally from NJ and PA. > >I'm especially interested in information on Israel Robeson BIRD 1738-1802. > >Maureen in CA > >

Hello - Thank you for this information...it's very interesting. Burgeon Bird father of Israel was from PA and married the daughter of Israel Robeson, and move to Effingham County, Georgia. The rest of the names in the document were members of the BIRD family in GA......Sylvanus, Margaret, etc. I have information on them, I'm willing to share. I'm very interested in William BIRD, son of William BIRD who emigrated to GA. Do you have any dates connected with this information on William? There appears to have been two William BIRDS in GA at that time. Was William Bird, the possible brother of Burgeon also the father of Mark Bird I read about so often? I'd appreciated any information you have on William BIRD, the son who moved to GA. I really appreciate you answering my posting with this informative information. Thank you.

Maria, I have a 1796 Virginia map and can't seem to find Franklin Co. on it. Was it known as a different county prior to being named Franklin? If so, maybe some of us are researching that area. Danny Cooper Byrd

I'm researching the BIRD family in Georgia, originally from NJ and PA. I'm especially interested in information on Israel Robeson BIRD 1738-1802. Maureen in CA Maureen in CA, are your GA Bird family members Dutch descendants married into the Native American Gallaher and Locklear lines? I have Isaiah Christopher Bird born 1818 in SC. His father is thought to have been born in PA. Rosebird

What a lot of interesting information on your BIRD family!! I wish we were related so I could use all that, but my BIRDs are from England and it is spelled B-I-R-D. There are many, many BIRDs in England.

Hattie Margaret Bird m. Ervin Western Beckman a. Margaret Anne Beckman m. Robert Ranson b. Nancy Louise Beckman m. Dayton A. Duvall * c. Ervin Western Beckman, Jr. m. Dianne Standish The Birds were essentially from Germany. They settled in great numbers in the same area of Virginia as the English Byrds. This is the actual meaning of the different spelling, contrary to the popular belief that the spelling changed with the Civil War. However, the Birds and Byrds intermarried to the point that they spelled their name either way. The Birds are from Mill Gap and Monterey of Highland County, Virginia. Highland County was created from a portion of Bath County in 1870. David Osburn bird was living on 200 of the original land grant, of 500 acres given by King George for services prior to the Revolutionary War in 1960. My great aunt visited David Osburn at that time (he was 94 years old). Harry Bird, David's 70 year old son, was also living on the land in another house. Janie Bird Rexroad (76 years old), William Guthrie Bird's first cousin, was the last living child of Francis Bird at the time of great aunt Elizabeth's visit. Elizabeth said Janie looked "like Aunt Cora. Aunt Lizzy went to see her also Aunt Joe, Anna Hill and Marjorie and Elizabeth years ago." John Bird, the Bird linage has been traced to this point so far, was a Revolutionary War Veteran. He was born in1750 and died at the age of 90 while plowing in the field. John's great grandson, Charles Wesley Bird was born in 1840. He married Mary Elizabeth Brown (Pictured left to right: William Guthrie Bird, Cora Watts, Mary Brown Bird, and Josephine Petty). The Brown's are a source of pride in my mother's family. Both my grandmother and Roberta Knox (daughter of Mary Elizabeth Martin) spoke of the desire to trace the Brown linage because it would probably come back to the "first or second boat." In my great grandma's diary she wrote an entry after she learned of Alice Chapman's death (last of the Browns.) The Browns were steamboat captains, specifically Uncle Marvin and Uncle Miles. So great grandma Bird wrote: "A boat passed up the Ohio River and blew a whistle during the service. I think it was a salute to Browns passed beyond." Charles Wesley Bird disagreed with slavery although he lived in Virginia. He moved to Gallapolis, Ohio because of his opposition to slavery. His brother, Francis M. Bird served in the Civil War four years on the Northern side. Charles Wesley became a self-made lawyer. He studied on his own without the aid of law school. When he was going to Wheeling by boat, the state capital at that time, he met a man who was authorized to give the bar exam. So Charles Wesley Bird passed the bar on a boat on the Ohio River. Charles became the first mayor of Gallapolis, Ohio. The next area of the story of the Birds basically deals with how Nitro, WV came to be a town. My great grandfather came to Nitro when it was being built during the World War I era. The following are excerpts from the Kanawha Valley Leader (9-13-63) in regard to the area which would become Nitro (please excuse the politically incorrect language in regard to Native Americans): A long time ago great herds of buffalo roamed through the Kanawha Valley and they always traveled the same paths and trails. These trails were worn deep and were later used by the Indians. Then after the Indians were gone, the white men took over for them their roads and highways. One of these roads that was once a buffalo and Indian trail is our own Third Avenue. . . a family of Indians passed by. One of the squaws had a papoose on her back which she called "Cornstalk." He had been born several months before on what is now Campbells Creek above Charleston. This little Indian grew up to become a great Shawnee Indian chief who led his warriors . . . The first white men to come this way more than 200 years ago were John Peter Salley and John Howard. They had been hired by the governor of Virginia to explore the land on this side of the mountains. . .At the turn of the century Nitro was a peaceful lumber camp and agricultural valley . . . Workers at the Mohler Company enjoyed a comparatively high standard of living as the lumber industry prospered. . . With threats of war, Nitro soon felt the impact, as the land where the lumber company stood was sold to the government. The quick change in Nitro, from a peaceful community to a war boom town changed the lives of many former mill workers and nearby residents. . . Nitro might still be know as Lock Seven if Newton D. Baker, World War I Secretary of War, had not selected this site from a list of several proposed areas as the location for the government to build a powder plant. . . The first name proposed for the town was "Redwop" (powder spelled backwards), but this name was discarded for ethnical connotations. He then selected the name of Nitro for the town. William Guthrie Bird met Hattie Miller Cable in Point Pleasant and they married. Hattie (my great grandmother) was among the first graduating students at Point Pleasant High School. Their family started out in Gallapolis, Ohio in 1918. My grandmother was four year olds when the entire family was transported to Nitro, WV. William had gone ahead of his family working for the Hercules Powder Company. The task was to literally build the town. My grandmother said he roomed in dunbar and went into Nitro each day to build houses so theri woul be enough for the families to come. She said they were building three houses a day. Apparently this increased to 25 a day with the influx of workers. When the children arrived their parents had acquired a house in the location of the present day interstate junction. An article written by James J. Gotch described the life of a plant worker during this time. Gotch arrived in Nitro from Sioux City, Iowa in the summer of 1918. The streets were nothing but mud "but wooden sidewalks were being built as fast as the help came from the farms and towns of the west, north, and south." There were daily trains into Nitro from all over the country. A hospital was established (this no longer exists in Nitro). I was employed in one of the many tall "Press" buildings in the Plant. This appeared like a coal tippel, with the huge brass press on the top floor. A cake of raw powder the size of a 50 lb. piece of cheese was placed into the press and steam power turned on and small strings of powder like spaghetti appeared on the next floor below. This was led to wooden pails and then fed into slicing machines which cut it into lengths of about one-half inch, after which it was placed in warming ovens and dried. Later it was weighed and placed into silk bags for use in fields and guns. During the war, the plant worked seven days a week. This decreased to six days during the armistice and finally to five days. The plant was open 24 hours a day. Wages were close to $120 per month. Eventually the workers were laid off in large groups. The families would either go to other industrial areas or back to their original homes. Great grandma Bird taught school at Sattes. Great grandpa was a fireman, photographer, and even a politician at on time. He ran for mayor of Nitro but lost. Great Grandma Bird was a very patient and loving woman which is evident in her marriage with William Guthrie. He was a handsome man, and often took advantage of this. My great aunts disagree slightly on whether some of the tales of my great grandfather are true. However, I was particularly amused by one story my Great Aunt Blanche told about him. Apparently, William Guthrie made a deal with a cleaning woman that he would give her a particular pair of shoes if she would meet him. The meeting place was a barn late at night. Reportedly, great grandmother came in the woman's place and wore the shoes to breakfast the next morning. My great grandfather did not say a word. My grandma Hattie said this story was not true. However, she frequently complained that her mother never liked her because her hair was the same color of a woman who William Guthrie was caught. Great gandma Bird stuck by him to his death. She wrote in her diary on June 18, 1966: William G. bird my husband died 24 years ago today." Still lamenting his loss after all those years. Great grandma Bird was a charter member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church, which was organized in 1919. After the war the government sold its plant to the Charleston Industry Corporation and the houses built by the government were bought by individuals during the Depression. These homes are still standing in Nitro and most of them have been remodeled into fine looking structures.

Hello fellow Bird watchers, I just received a book called 'The Early Byrds of Grayson County, Virginia' by The Byrd Family Association. I don't find a tie to my Byrd family of VA, so wonder if anyone else might have an interest in the book. Please contact me privately, off list. It details the descendants of John BYRD who died before 1782 in Prince Edward Co, VA. He was married to Sarah (unk). Second generation is: William BYRD b 1752 VA, d 1829 m to Alley (unk). His brother, Samuel BYRD b 1758, d 1820 m Mourning GILBERT. Their brother, Henry BYRD b 1764 d 1859, m Nancy BALDWIN. Their sister, Elizabeth BYRD b 1771, d 1870, m John Lincoln HARMON. The 955 page, indexed, publication has a great many photos, copies of documents, sources, etc. Excellent condition. I am NOT a bookseller, nor trying to make a profit. Just would like to have this book in the hands of a researcher who can make good use. If this could be your family, I will be happy to do a lookup for you. Best regards, Joyce Locke (double descendant of Andrew Byrd and Magdalene Jones, Shenandoah, VA)

Hi Stephanie: I too have Bird/Byrd connections in North Carolina and, like you, have a brick wall. My brick wall is my gg grandfather Alfred Bird/Byrd who was born around 1802. He married Elizabeth Moore and lived in or near Pitt County, NC. they had several children one of which was Delitha, my great grandmother born 10/18/18932. I can't find any information on Alfred or his siblings or parents. Do you connect to this family? If so I would really appreciate any information you can provide.

Hello, I have not written to the list in a while, I am at a brick wall and I am in need of help! I am looking for any information that I can find on my gggg-grandparents: JAMES M. BIRD or BYRD, he was born in North Carolina in about 1778, which county is unknown? In his will he listed his wife as CLOYE. No other information is known about her. We cannot prove that he may not have been married before. His children were: REDMAN b: 1806 in NC HILYARD b: 1809 or 1813 in NC NANCY b: 1814 in NC THOMAS b: 1820 in TN MARY ANN b: 1824 in TN The family is listed in the census records that I have with their last names spelled BIRD, but I have also found them as BYRD! We have been able to locate them in the 1840-1880 Grainger County Tennessee Census Records. And I have a TON of information from 1840 to present on the family. I just cannot seem to be able to get broke over into North Carolina. Any help would be greatly appreciated so that maybe the headache that I have from beating my head against this brick wall will go away! Thanks in Advance!
