I'm about to complete my family book BIRD, FRANKS, SMITH & RELATED FAMILIES. If you would like to have any family information and pictures included... they must arrive to me by Sept. 1, 2001. Solomon Bird and Nancy Britt Bird were the parents of Sarah Bird. She married John Franks 1808 Edgefield Dist., SC. I have not been able to definitely prove that John Franks is the son of James and Ann Franks of King George Co, VA, Hanover Parrish, but think that everything points to this line. Another daughter of Solomon Bird, Easter, married in Edgefield Dist., SC about 1804 to Elijah Smith, the son of Spencer Smith Sr and moved to Lawrence Co., TN. John Franks and wife Sarah Bird Franks moved to Lawrence Co., TN also. Many decendants still live in Lawrence Co., TN. Mary Nell Hollis Franks
