Dear Bird researchers: My earliest Birds thus far: James Bird, possibly born in TN before 1815 or so. He was married to Catharine Tennessee LeGate, who was born in TN, also around or before 1815. Their son, William H. Bird, b. 1836 in AR, was married four times - his fourth wife was Anna Beavers, whom he married around 1880. She died around 1919, he died around 1920 in Lonoke AR. Their children: Moody, Sanky, Alonzo, Lou and one daughter, Apsie Ruby. Their daughter, Apsie Ruby Bird b. 1901 in Lonoke, married George M. Dooley around 1921 or so in Lonoke. They had three children: Anna Jean, Goerge M and Edward M. Any help on finding the parents of James Bird (or Catharine Tennessee Legate) would be appreciated.
