Hi Ken, Nice to see your name on line, Miss our little chats. I am rereading your mail on Andrew Hodge of Augusta Co. Va. See two of his children married into the Baird line, like Wiliam Hodge, father of my George Baird Hodge did. Do you have any information on the line these two Bairds are from?. I am sure the area is Pennsylvania. This is a very, old respected family name in that part of our country. I did find a grave of a small boy named Pleasant Baird in Maysville, Kentucky. I have been told a GEORGE BAIRD , a brother of GEORGE'S mother was a merchant and traveled to the Maysville area to deal with WILLIAM HODGE and an ANDREW TODD, brother of WILLIAM'S first wife. I believe William may have met SARAH BAIRD through her brother. WILMA JEAN HATTON PRETOT WJPteach@AOL.com
