I'm trying to trace my Laird roots (my mom was a Laird) past Archibald Laird. He was my great-great grandfather, married to Malinda Graham. My Archibald was born in 1816. He and Malinda were married and raised their family in Newton County, Mississippi. My grandfather, Ivy Melvin Laird, always said our family line came from South Carolina. But I've been unsuccessful in going back past Archibald. Any information on this Archibald and Malinda Graham would open up a whole new avenue for me. Thanks a bunch!
