hello, My earliest known Laird is Fred Laird, he was a farmer, from Benton,IL. He was married to Sarah Paige(Page), also of Benton. I only Know of one child of Fred and Sarah, F.A.(first name is Fred also) Laird. F.A. was married to Edna Munday, also from Benton. I have no bieth dates or anything on Fred and Sarah. F.A. was born in 1887 - 1889. F.a. and Edna were married on Jan.28,1908. F.A. and Edna had twin sons born in July of 1910, one of which died at birth, the other being named Russell Webb Laird. Russell married Irma Marie Vaughn from Paragould, Ark. They had several children. Then in 1945, Russell left his family and was never heard from again. He was later found deceased in Chicago, IL. He had died in the 1970's. If anyone should happen to have any info. on this Laird line, it would be a blessing, as I have ran into brick walls every way I go in this particular search.
