John Bird (my gggggrandfather)b Feb. 4, 1742 in Loudoun Co. VA.d about 1833 in Franklin Co. VA. He married Jane?. They had eight children, William S.b Dec 28,1777, John b 1780,Catherine b July 8, 1780, Sarah b 1787, Mary b 1789, Elizabeth b 1790, James b 1793,Thomas b 1784. Most lived and died in Franklin Co. VA. I have quite a bit of information on the children, but very little on him. His birth date comes from Boddie: Birth and Death Records Of Albermarle Parrish. Does anyone have any information on him? Some have said that his father and mother were Richard b 1717 and Sarah. The other children are listed as Richard b March 16, 1748, Luke b Dec 25,1768 and Benjamin b 1758. I have no proof of these facts. Jerry Grass
