Dear Cathy: In my files I have a Wellington Bird, b 1796 in Little Roaring Creek, PA, married Sarah Thornton. They first to Ohio, where their first two children Miriam and Hiram ( b 1844 and 1846) were born. Then they moved to Mount Pleasant, Iowa where I have three more children: Mary Alice, Regina, and Leslie, b 1850, 1860, and 1862 respectively. Because of the gaps in aes of these children, I'm probably missing some. Do you think your Edward could be from this family? Was he born in Mount Pleasant? Judy
