NY is not decended from the Thomas Bird of VA that is the relative or ancester of the westover Birds. I did the research my self on the NY Birds and it is factual. How ever there is a chance, actually a very good chance that they are related in England as i believe they both came from the london area, how ever i could be mistaken on that!
