Hello Everyone...I am seeking information on a James Bird b.cir. 1777 - 1780 in Ireland. He was in Greene Co. in the 1850 cen. living with his daughter Elmira Bird Thomas and her husband Barney Thomas. In the house hold down below him is his son William Bird & family and another son, John Bird. I cannot find him in the 1860 cen, but his son William and dau. Elmira are still there. The other son John has left and went to Texas. I would like to find his deathdate/burial site and that of his wife. I am not certain yet, but I think that he may of married Polly Hull in Mecklenburg Co. NC in 1811and that she died between 1840 and 1850 either in Washington Co. VA or Greene Co. TN. If anyone is researching this James Bird or has any info to share I would really appreicate you contacting me. Margie Wakefield wamak@aol.com "Roots grow deeper in soil that's been tilled"
