Evening All I've been on the bird list for two years and have not found one shred of information, however I feel obligated to share what I have on the bird line. James Bird married susann Farris Dec 18, 1796 Lincoln Co. KY James Bird located in Barren Co. KY 1810 James Bird marreid Martha Sinare in Edward Co. Ill 1817 In 1818 James Bird recieved land (war of 1812) in what is now Wayne Co. then Gallatin Co. James Bird located in Wayne Co.

Ill 1830 Mrs Susanna Bird located in Marshall Co. Ill in 1840 Believed to be wife (widow) of a James Bird ( Susanna Farris) Mrs. Susanna Bird age 69 born in Ky located in Marshall Co. Ill. enumerated with Washington Bird, age 26, born Ill. (Washington is Jame's son) I have much more , will place it on line later. None of the above information pertains to my line, after 2-3 years of research ,it was determined that it was the wrong line. I also have a copy of a manuscript by Laura Kirchen , written August 10, 1924 that talks about this particuliar Bird line and those that migrated to Oregan I placed much of this information on line about 2 years ago, several folks began to argue some of the information with me. This is not my line, I'm only sharing real research information with other Birds, so if any one has problems with it please research the info, it's all in the public records. Al Byrd
