Good Grief!! You are the second person to come up with "John Laird, Hatter." Apparently was born in 1771, lived in Pike Co., Arkansas. The father of the younger John Laird in Pike Co. perhaps??? My John Laird died before 1850 in Ross Co., Ohio. His son John was living in Ross co. in 1850. Age 32, so it's a different JOhn Laird. Interesting that they were both hatters although I believe my people were from Scotland. So I heard anyway. Thank you for you message.
