Golly! Am I dense or what!!! I have been looking thru my records at toooo many names and toooo many dates!!
My Richard Bird 1717 that was married to Sarah Jones could not be the Richard Bird/Byrd that bought the land from Edward Goodrich! IF the notation 1717 next to his name means that was the year of his birth, which is MY assumption, and others assume the same thing. I cannot fathom what else it might mean, however, I do not know for sure that is when he came into the area or what!?!?
I am on the trail of this Richard Bird/Byrd that bought the land from Mr. Goodrich, as it might be Richard Bird 1717's father, if not he himself.
I did see in records in the Va. room at the Roanoke Public Library that some court magistrates were being sent to Edgecombe Co., N.C. regarding a court suit involving a Dobie infant, so one or both Richards could have gone to N.C. I will have to do some checking in that arena myself.
I wish I had a copy of the Albemarle Parish register to look thru or better yet if there is someone in this GenForum that has one it would be of great help as when I was in Va. I did not get to look thru the entire thing and it really is a wealth of info!!!!
And I would really like to see the Weyanoke Parish Register as that may tell us who this Richard Bird/Byrd that bought the land from Mr. Goodrich was and also his wife and progeny. The Lawne's Parish Register, Westover Parish Register and Southwarke Parish Registers would also be immensely helpful to all us that are interested in this line.
