I believe the following Lard's that were in your KY extractions are probably related to my Laird family, though I do not know yet for sure. My g-g-grandmother was Elizabeth Laird Jones Crabb. She was the daughter of Hezakiah and Patsey Carter Laird. She married ??? Jones, I think in Hart County, KY (her obituary states she was born there, and I just learned the courthouse burned!) and her Jones husband died shortly after she had my g-grandfather Willis Washington Jones in 1853, then she married J. R. U. Crabb about 1857. BARREN Co. (roll 191, pg. 416) July 26, 1850: Dwelling 179, Family 183: Ellen Lard, 21, F, KY Willie Lard, 13, M, KY (listed in household of Richard M.

Wasn't $2000 real estate a pretty good bit of land in those days?? I have Charles' will, and apparently Virginia preceded him in death, I don't have that info in front of me as I write this, it's on another paper, but I think shortly after this, and she had no will.

I hope this information can help someone else, and of course I also hope that it ends up helping me find someone who can add some puzzle pieces, too!! Sherry Kline
