Hi, Glad to seen that you are going to do an article on this Laird line. I have a lot of various information on this line (from Mary Alice Laird, Harrisburg & Margargel) that is probably pretty old and possibly not accurate. So far not my line. BTW, Paul has given the information on my Samuel Laird for the newsletter so I will not repeat.
