Several distant cousins of mine are researching Birds that ended up in Fayette County Pennsylvania and we had heard had migrated from New Jersey. I found this New Jersy Tax List from 1609-1789 for Bedminister Twp., Somerset County that has some of our Bird's on it as well as a David Bird. Possibly there is a connection.
