Does anyone here know about the BIRDS in Winston County during the 1850 census? I'm particularly interested in John Bird (76, NC) and his wife, Catherine (64, NC). Living with them is Susan (10, TN).
My gg-grandfather, Charles STOKES (son of William Henry STOKES), married Susan SMITH about 1861 in Winston Co., AL. One source I've found suggests that Susan's mother's maiden name was BYRD/BIRD.
The Susan living with the Bird's is the right age and born in the right place. There's no other Susan (Smith or otherwise) that's the correct age in that census -- not that it means anything. Anyway, I'm wondering if perhaps Susan is their granddaughter and that just perhaps there's an error (GASP!!) and her surname is SMITH. This family is shown pretty near the STOKES family and other families (i.e. Lovette and Cagle) that migrated from Warren Co., TN. Did the BIRDs come from there as well???
Any information that anyone could give me on this family would be wonderful. Other BIRDs near John & Catherine are Benjamin (44, NC) & Mary (44, TN) and John (33, TN) & Nancy (31, TN).
Many thanks in advance! Oh, I'll gladly share information on the STOKES with anyone interested.
