I am interested in corresponding with anyone having knowledge of or interest in the family of Hester Bird, wife of Burrell Perry. Hester (or Esther, I've seen the name spelled both ways) was born in NC (probably in or near Franklin Co) on 8 Sept 1767. On 22 December 1789, in Franklin Co, NC, she married Burrell Perry. They later moved to Wayne Co, GA, and ultimately to Williamson Co, TN. I know that Hester had a sister, Elizabeth Bird, who never married, and lived with the Perry family all her adult life. I also know that Hester's parents died (back in NC) while the Perrys lived in GA (probably in the late 1790s or early 1800s). The only other clue that I have on my Bird ancestors is that Hester Bird Perry's daughter, Emily Perry Hamilton, named one of her sons Alexander Bird Hamilton. I would love to learn more about my Bird ancestors.
