"Daniel BIRD was defeated as a candidate for the first sheriff of the municipality of Washington at an election on 7-18-1835, by John W. HALL." -- Austin Colony Pioneers "Abigail BIRD married a John TOWNSEND on 11-24-1848 and Elva BIRD married Jesse J. ALLEN on 4-15-1841 Washington Co., TX." -- Austin Colony Pioneers Jesse J. ALLEN Jr. and Elva BIRD had a son. Jesse died September 11, 1842 in Washington County, Texas. What was the name of Jesse and Elva's son? What happened to Elva and her son after Jesse died? Who was Elva's mother? (I'm too late for the wedding but I may be able to make it to the reception. Can anyone suggest a wedding gift?)
