Hi Dale, I have been monitoring this list for some time but have not joined in. Finally someone has come up with a name combination I cannot ignore. I own the Family Bible of William Johnson and Margaret Ish of Loudoun Co., VA. (my ggg-grandparents). According to this Bible, their daughter Jane Ann Johnson married Aaron Bird 8 Jan 1823. It does not give a birth date for Aaron, but Jane Ann was born 25 Jul 1807. Aaron died 30 Oct 1832. Jane died 2 Sep 1845. The Bible lists five children, Susan, John William, Avarillah, Charles E. and Mary Bird. I know Susan married Alexander Breckenridge and is buried in Union Cemetery, Leesburg, VA. I also know from the Bible that Avarillah was born 14 Aug 1828 and died 30 Jan 1831 and Mary was born 3 Jul 1833 and died 19 Sep 1833. The Bible gives John William's birth as 19 Dec 1824 and Charles E. as 7 Feb 1830. I have not found any other information on this family. As this is the family of my ggg-aunt and uncle, I would very much like more information on Aaron's ancestry and on James William and Charles E. The name is spelled Bird in the Bible, but of course this is not a controlling factor. Looking forward to hearing from all of you Betty Frain [email protected] ---------- > From: Dale Byrd <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: James Byrd, William Byrd, Aaron Byrd > Date: Saturday, October 11, 1997 1:34 AM > > Here is my Byrd line.
