Kay,
I noticed that you haven't posted in awhile but I do hope that you get this posting. I think I have just been able to track some of our Virginia Baird's,that I hadn't been able to place after the Civil War, to the Gallia County, Ohio area. According to the 1880 census there is an R.A. and Catherine Baird who living in Addison, Gallia County, Ohio.The where both born in VA, with parents born in Va, and they fit the time frame. They have a niece with the last name Hix living with them, and Catherine's sister had married a Hix in Virginia.
My gg-grandfather's brother Richmond Archibald Baird born 1819 who married Catherine Thackston in Prince Edward County, Virginia on November 19, 1843 is in Gallia County by 1880 I believe. The fact that your grandfather was John Richmond Baird, makes me wonder if there is a connection.
