Does this family belong to you? If so, I have about 7or 8 pages of history including a very early Robert Laird that served in the Revolutionary War and was awarded a pension by special provision of the State of Ga in Clarke County. I know that the Laird's repeated the given names many times and it is confusing without dates and places. Ken Williams
Thanks for writing, Ken. I suspect that Joseph R., Archibald, Robert, and probably Jefferson, even maybe Jessie were somehow related, possibly even brothers. All were in early Jasper and Tyler Counties. I would like very much to share information.
