Wanda, thank you for the information on the Salvadora Baird and her husband. All the information I have on them, came from the 1880 and 1900 census. I haven't been able to find her on the 1910, 1920 and 1930. She should be there, so I'll keep looking for her. I was given the name Pearl as one of her children. I haven't been able to find Pearl, but did find a daughter named Bettie on the 1900 census. Maybe Pearl was a child, who died in infancy. Here is what I have for Dora: Salvadora BAIRD 1. Salvadora BAIRD "Dora" was born 14 Jan 1856 in Valle Crucis, Watauga Co., North Carolina. She died 27 Jan 1937 in Johnson Co., Tennessee and was buried in Silver Springs Cemetery, Mt.
