I have a bunch of ancestors from Orange; Orange Alamance; and Orange Caswell. From Orange, I can help others with the Melton lineage. >From Orange Alamance, I need help! This is what I know for sure: my ggggrandmother was Nancy L. Bird (B 1822, Orange). Her father was James Bird; mother was Polly Vincent. James was the son of Richard Bird. I have no information on Polly Vincent. Might someone else out there? Thomas Bird first married Anna Browning. After her death, he married Nancy Hamilton. Thomas died in about 1835 and is buried in Cross Roads Cem. In the 1850 Census, my ggg grandmother, Nancy L. (Bird) Bradford and her two little children, Mary and William Bradford; are enumerated in the home of Nancy Bird, widow. Next line in the census is Murray Lambeth, Tailor. With him is enumerated James Bradford, "Student". James Bradford is the husband of Nancy L. Bird Bradford. He then died in 1851 and is buried next to Nancy (Hamilton) Bird in Cross Roads. She is next to Thomas. James Bradford's tombstone reads, "Our Jamey". Later in the 1850's, Nancy L. Bird Bradford married Murray Lambeth. Does anyone out there know the relationship of Nancy (Hamilton) Bird to Nancy L. Bird Bradford? Does anyone have information on the Lambeth family? Further, James Bradford was the son of David Bradford and Elizabeth Carregan, I believe. Is this David the son of William Bradford? Does anyone out there have the Bradford history? How about the Carregans? Your help is greatfully appreciated.
