I am researching my greatgrandfather, his parents and grandparents. Elisha BIRD (b 1790 Southampton VA) came to Logan County OH in the 1830s with his family, wife Sarah and children along with several other families of free colored (Newsom, Stewart, Wade). Elisha was the grandfather of my great- grandfather Abner Bird who was born in Logan County in 1843. Many of the families moved on to Cass Co Michigan in the late 1840s and 1850s. I am looking for anyone else researching families of free colored or free "other" people who lived in Logan Co., especially anyone researching BIRD or BYRD surname during that time. Does anyone know how I can find the name of Elisha's son who was the father of Abner?
