Hello everyone and Happy Holidays. I am new to the list and here are my BIRDS: 1. Thomas LeBIRD, married (-?) Middlesex, UK before 1600 2. Thomas BIRD, born Cheshire, married Elizabeth (maybe BIRD) about 1618, London 3. William BIRD, born about 1619, England. Married Hannah Grendon. William's brothers were John BYRD, Thomas BIRD. William BIRD moved to VA and lived in Martins Brandon, Charles City Co., VA; he was a judge and businessman. Died before 1672. 4. Thomas BIRD, married Mary (-?) before 1675. They lived in Surry Co., VA. Will proved 1687, Surry Co., VA. 5. Elizabeth BIRD, married 1st-John Lanier about 1703, Surry Co., VA. Married 2nd-Thomas Clary. I have these BIRDS and other material on the BIRD pages of my site at http://home.att.net/~c.middleton/ and I invite you all to visit. I have pages for many lines of my families including many Lanier pages and some Grendon pages. The BIRD pages are at http://home.att.net/~c.middleton/Birdline1.html#anchor206127 in case you prefer to go straight there. But I hope you will stay on my site awhile and get to know all my family. I look forward to discussion of the BIRD / BYRD lines and hope to learn much more. Best regards, Carol Middleton
