died in 1923.His son Thomas E Laird was my grandfather and had
2 sons Garret and William Rivers Taylor Laird who was may grand-
dad,Thomas Died in Sept 1923 the same year as his mom.My grand-
father William Rivers Taylor Laird married Bertha Young in Oct

my Dad.Anyone researching a connecting line that can help with
death dates or if anyone comes across the cause of death on the
5 children of Alexander that didn't make it I would love to hear
from you.Also I think that the original Alexander came over on
a ship called the Caladonia from Fife county Scotland but I don't
have any proof of this.I would also like to get in contact with
anyone in Scotland that is researching this line
