I have a John Bird, born 19 March 1821, in North Carolina. However, he may not have a connection to the James M. Bird family you're researching, because in 1844 he was still in North Carolina. On 9 November 1844, he married Barbara McCarty in Tryon (now Lincoln) County, NC. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale-&-Steph <DALEandSTEPH@webtv.net> To: <BIRD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 1999 4:41 PM Subject: [BIRD-L] JAMES M.
