He was born abt 1785, NJ, and m Jemima [UMN] in PA about 1805. I have 5 children for them (there may have been more). Sylvanus (b 1806 PA, d 26 Jan 1873 Knox Co; never married); Sarah (b 1809, PA. Married Michael Yoakam on 24 Jan 1828, Knox County); Charles (b 1817, PA; married Abigail Martin on 06 Aug 1840, Knox County); Jacob (b 1818, PA; married Keziah Craig on 09 Mar 1827, Knox County, and relocated to Sharon Township, Franklin Co, OH, before Jul 1850); Wesley (b 1820, PA; married Mary Ann Austin on 01 Oct 1840 in Knox County). [Please note that the John Bird that you have as his son was actually his brother, and the Mary Ann you show as a daughter was actually Wesley's wife.] If you wish to contact me, I do have a little more information. Most of those who remained in the Knox County area are buried at Bird Cemetery (Liberty Township, Knox County). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
