Hello Birds, Well I finnally broke thru my brick wall and it only took 1 1/2 yrs. I found my gg grandfather Nathaniel H. Bird in Merriweather Co GA living with his father James Bird and Mother Eliza. in 1850 and 1860 census. It looks like a Grandmother also, name is not real clear. Could be Temperance. Nathaniel had 11 brothers and sisters in 1860. They are Frances (F) age 16, Nathaniel 15, Thomas 14, A. J. maybe Amanda 13, Charles C. 12, Joanna 7, William W. 9, F. H. (m)8, looks like Issac 7, Lorena 5, W. A. (m) 4, D.J.(m) 2. On 1850 Census His grandmother is living next door with 3 of her children Matilda D, age 20, Robert D. age 18, and John H. age 16. Grandmother is 56 and his father James is 32 and mother Eliza is 30. Nathaniel H. is 6. Does anyone have any info on these Birds? Will appreciate any help. Thanks Sherry Douglas
