>> Location: BLACK MINGO CREEK Source(s): COOK, BODDIE. Notes: ORIGINAL WILLIAMSBURG SETTLER, BORN ON RIVER BANN, NORTHERN IRELAND IN 1670. << There seems to be better proof that this John was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a christening record for him there. I'm not at home so I can't give you the source data until next week. I searched the Irish records and never found reference to him, but the christening is there in Scotland. There is also a record of his landing in New Hampshire about 1684, in company with one of his Baird cousins and others who seem to be relatives. ....BettyC
