Washington Co. Ky. Birds 1790-1820
Hi All,
I looked the Accomack Co., Va. Birds over a few years ago and convinced myself that I was not related to them.I am no longer convinced that I am not related to them.I do see some interesting similarities in the lines.
Apparently Mary, daughter of Daniel Bird who d.~1752, may have married Abraham Riggs.Mary and Abraham's son Wm. Riggs married Nancy Staton/Stayton in 1788 in Nelson Co. Ky.Nancy Staton was born in Accomack Co. Va. about 1760.Mary just above, may also be a Brett/Britt if not a Bird.Stayton lines of Nelson and Washington Co., Ky.have ties to several of my collateral lines.
Now on to my problem, I have torn my hair out for years trying to tie my John W. Bird, b. Washington Co., Ky, ~ 1800 to a family.
I see that there are other John W. Birds in the Accomack Co., Virginia Birds.
I think his father was Edward Bird, b. about 1765, married Nancy Cambron in Nelson Co., Ky in 1789.Edward lived in Washington Co., Ky. It is an 80% chance that he is my John W. Bird's father.There were also an elder James and Samuel Bird in the area at the same time, and there is a small chance that one of them is John W. Bird's father, or even Edward's father.
Edward Bird, I see is a name that shows up in the Accomack lines as well.
John W. Bird named boys, James, Samuel, William, Alexander and Daniel.I have no clue how many others may have died and their names are unknown.
Given the above similarities, John W., Edward and Daniel, I wondered if anyone has lost any Edward Birds, Daniel or John W. Birds in your lines.
Until recently I was unaware that there was even a chance that there might be Accomack Co., Birds in early Ky.I still am not certain that there was, but the chances have improved.
I have no clue what the W. stands for in John W. Bird.
Do anyone know if any of the Accomack Co., Birds went to central or So. Central Ky?
Or do you know any one who might know?
Thanks,
Gene Bird
