Hi! I'm new to this list. I've been researching the BIRD family that originated in Elizabethtown at it's settlement. I believe the first BIRD settler was John Bird, but I have no proof of that. He had two sons, Joseph and Jeremiah, b abt 1680, who owned plantations in Rahway. Their children married into the Cutter, Marsh, Freeman, Force and FitzRandolph families of Elizabeth, Rahway and Woodbridge. If anyone has any info on these families or their descendants, or would like to see what I've already put together, please email me.
