Is it possible that your Sarah Cole Stewart Bird or John Wiley Edward Bird, be descended from Sarah Denton Bird and Captain John Bird, early colonists in Texas under Stephen Austin. I'm descended from them, through their eldest son William Parrish Bird, and his daughter Elizabeth Bird Sheppard who is buried in Levita. Kirby L.
