You'll find a lot of information on STANTON, and some on LORD, BIRD, and ROGERS in my historical and genealogical research note files now posted on the New London, CT site at http://members.aol.com/TOCHAGRAY/New-London.html Please also check the ahnentafel on my personal homepage at http://www.angelfire.com/mn/itsabouttime for other possible relationships. My wife's maiden name was BIRD; but her line came from Highland (Bath) County, Virginia. For those interested in the Virinia BIRD/BYRD family and related families in Virginia, consult my research notes posted on the Bath County Genweb site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vabath/ Bill DeCoursey [email protected]
