Amaranth Anne Bird married James Richard Garrard, and one of their children, Harriet Irene Garrard was my
Great-grandmother. I am trying to find out who E.P. Bird's parents were, and if they are of Cherokee Indian blood as I have
been told by some of my relatives. I am also researching the Garrard line in our family and am royally stuck. Can anyone give
me info on these lines??
