This posting includes a query that appeared in a Baton Rouge, LA publication some years back. An elderly Aunt found it in one of her cook books this week. Laird Family query Adam Larid, who fathered at least 14 children, died in Barnwell Conubty, S. C., in 1828. Several of his children migrated to southeast Mississippi. Among the children known are: Mary, who married David Cochran; Sarah, who married Wiley Cowart; Rachel, who married Eli Stringfellow; Talitha, who married William Armstrong; William; John, who married Sarah (maiden name unknown); Margaret, who married a Carroll; Adam;, who married Sultana Chapman; and Susannah, who married Jesse Cowart. It is probable that Adam was a son of a Pennsylvania Revoluntionary War soldier, who migrated to Camden District, S. C. Adam's wife called Lucretia in 1828, but in an 1812 deed record, she is referred to as Margaret. Henry and Joseph Laird are associated with Adam in South Carolina. Pat Edwards, 1765 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558, wants information on ancestors of Adam and his wife. Best Regards, Byron Clay Ainsworth Baton Rouge, LA
