There were some Birds living in Warren Twp, Somerset Co, NJ in the 1800's. Isaac Bird, 1774 - 1832, m Elizabeth ? 1773 - 1865. Children were Elias (married Mary Trimmer); Phebe (married Jacob Trimmer); Mary; Jane (married ? Giddes); Fanny (married JohnSmith); Solomon (died before Isaac) and Clarkson (married Mary Coddington). At the same time, there was a Charity Coon Bird, widow of John Bird; John was already dead by 1830, but I don't have exact dates for him. They could be the parents of Isaac G. (married Phebe ?); Charity ( married Isaiah Coddington) John (married Jane Young) and Hannah (married Peter Perrine). There was also a John G. Bird, b 1781, wife Lydia. Does anyone have any clue to how these people might be connected? Also, there are two Clarkson Birds in this group. There is also a Clarkson Bird b 1810 living in Sussex Co. Is he related to this group? I have some descendant data for these people, if anyone is interested.
