Hello, I am new to this list. I am descended from Anne Laird who married William Alexander on 10/13/1778 in Rockbridge County, VA. Anne's father was David Laird who died in Washington County, VA in 1803. His will was recorded in Wash. Co., VA on 11/29/1800 and proved 2/15/1803. David's wife was Margaret. She must have died before 1800 because she wasn't named in his will. >From the will of David Laird, here is his family: David Laird died 1803 children: David Laird - oldest son Joseph Caldwell -son-in-law Edward Wilson - son-in-law William Laird - son William Alexander - son-in-law (wife was Anne Laird,daughter of David) Elizabeth Laird McCune - daughter Sarah Laird Gilliland - daughter Mary Laird Ferril - daughter (husband was probably Robert Ferril) ******************************************************************************** I am sure David Laird was a Revolutionary War soldier as was his son-in-law, William Alexander. On April 15, 1778 in Rockbridge County, VA, the county advanced money for support of Margaret Laird and her children, while husband David Laird is in Continental service. William Alexander fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain. ******************************************************************************** I'm not sure about this. James Laird, husband of Letitia Kerr, died in 1780 at Battle of Kings Mountain. James also lived in Washington County, VA. I think he was probably a son or brother of my David Laird. ******************************************************************************** Is there anyone out there with more information on my David Laird family??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sincerely, Floyd Owsley 1101 Dejarnette St. Elizabethton, Tennessee 37643
