I would appreciate anyone who can help me find additional info/sources to prove or disprove the following 7 William Bird Connections: WBC#1 - Mary (Bird #013) Sadowsky's son, worked as a Wagoneer for William Bird. WBC#2 - Bridget Huling's Aunt Magdelene Jones married Andrew Bird, Jr. WBC#3 - Andrew Huling moved to VA one mile from Andrew Bird. WBC#4 - Bird Va Iron Forge connection to Abraham Bird. WBC#5 - Descendent of William Bird and Bridgetta Huling moves to Georgia just like Borgon Bird. WBC#6 - SPECULATION - Any info that supports or disproves that Mary Bird #012 (sister of William Bird of Birdsboro, Pa married James Peters. A. August 1997 - Peters and Allied Families Genealogical Quarlerly ("P&AFGQ" hereafter) "Supposedly James Peters came to America in 1748 from Ireland. He married Mary Bird. In 1750, he drowned in the Susquehanna River... his death caused by a lot of silver money on his person.... Posthumously a son, John Peters was born." B. June 1999 - P&AFGQ I speculated that James Peters drowns at Clark's Ferry(just below) Peters Mountain. This speculation based on an 1871 article in The Pike County Republican, "An Interview with with Rachel Peters Vandervort". In the article she says her father was born 1752 in Sherman's Valley. C. September 1999 - P&AFGQ I compile an ancestry of Rachel Pownall. Who married John Peters (son of James and Mary 'BIRD' Peters). Her mother, Effie Bi(u)rd is found to be Elisha Bird and Cathriina Ringo thanks to the help of Judy Pisano, Robert B. Ringo, and later Herman Fagley and Leo and Doris Berger. The marriage of Rachel and John Peters occurs in 1779. (Elisha Bird is the brother of Mary 'BIRD #13' Sadowsky and uncle to William, Borgon, Mary #012, and Andrew) D. June 2001 P&AFGQ Mary Bird #013 Sadowsky moves to Hampshire County, WV near Patterson's Creek. This per Marilyn Coalla. E. September 2000 P&AFGQ Annnounce Myrna Peters Johnson's 1983 speculation of James Peters (part owner of coalbrookdale ironworks) being somehow connected to the Birds of Birdsboro, PA F. September 2001 P&AFGQ Myrna Peters speculation revisited by myself. Thanks in primary part to Hermon Fagley, who pinpoints a Colebrookdale Iron works 6 miles from Douglasville, PA. G. September 2001 P&AFGQ (1) Marcus Huling (Brigetta's brother) found to be living opposite Peter's Mountain at Sherman's creek. This the Speculated drowning place of James Peters.
