Surnames: Laird, Woods Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/1765 Message Board Post: I am searching for the parents of Col. John Alfred Laird who was born about 1861 and died in 1953. He married Margaret Isabel (Maggie Belle Woods) on December 27, 1887, in Henry County, IL. They are buried in Woodhull Cemetery. He graduated from Galesburg High School in 1879 and was a veteran of World War I. He lived in St. Louis, MO. Can any help me with the name of his parents?
